Hand-knotted Afghan Baluch rug, a type of tribal carpet woven by nomadic or semi-nomadic Baluchi people in western Afghanistan and eastern Iran.

It features a repeating geometric pattern with deep tribal roots. The central field is often filled with stylized floral or protective motifs, such as "guls" (tribal medallions) or latch-hook diamonds.

These rugs are famous for their dark, somber tones. You'll typically see deep madder reds (burgundy), dark blues, and browns, often offset by white or ivory highlights.

Traditionally crafted from 100% hand-spun wool, sometimes incorporating goat or camel hair for durability. The fringe is the actual loose ends of the warp threads, indicating it is handwoven.

For the Baluch tribes, these rugs are more than floor coverings; they are a cultural narrative. The specific symbols woven into the borders and field can represent protective charms, tribal identity, or elements of nature from the weaver's daily life.
