Rare and beautiful example of an old textile artifact from the tribal tents of Baluchistan, before the Russian invasion of Afghanistan.
Dark colors have always been used by nomads to rest their eyes from the strong sunlight of the plateau, but in this case they have been replaced by a more subdued red, illuminated by white. The Baluchi nomads do not have many other colors available to dye their wool...
The size is exceptional for this type of rug: it was certainly intended for the tent of a chieftain.
