Baluchi rugs are tribal by nature and are initially made to be used inside tribal tents, which are often mobile and move from one place to another. Therefore as a matter of practicality they are produced in smaller sizes, the most common of them around 3×4′, 4×6′ and they are usually limited to less than 8 feet in length. Pile rugs in general are made from a mix of wool and cotton, in which cotton is used as the base of the rugs and wool form the pile. In Baluch rugs, unlike most other types of rugs, even the foundation of the rug is made of wool. The wool used in Baluchi rugs are normally hand spun and, until very recently, Baluch rugs have been using natural and vegetable dyes. These rugs are known for their resilience. However, due to the type of materials used and the circumstances the knot density in Baluchi rugs are lower than most hand knotted rugs. Baluchi rugs are often woven with geometric motifs and tribal designs, most of them using darker colors which is consistent for the environment in which they are used. -condition: original good, -circa: 1940s, -size: 3.7′ x 6.1′ ( 117cm x 187cm ), -material: wool, -country of origin: Afghanistan, -style: Baluch, -background colors: brown, rusty red, bright blue,white.
