961. an attractive Baluch tribal Afghan rug

961. Provenance: Baluch tribal, Western Afghanistan

Size: 216 x 96 cm

Age: circa 1950

Condition: Good. Minor loss to goat-hair selvedges

Notes: Rich natural colouring (indigo and madder) and shiny soft moutain handspun wool. The design and drawing is crips and clear, and the pattern very appealling. The decorative kilim ends have survived intact. A gem.
