A hand-knotted Khan Muhammadi rug from Afghanistan, woven in 100% hand-spun wool. The deep red field carries a grid of octagonal Turkmen güls, six across and fourteen down, each quartered and filled with hooked motifs in ivory, black and rust, with smaller cross-form devices set between the rows.
Seven border bands frame the field, alternating red, navy and ivory and carrying hooks, rosettes and a running vine, with a plain red outer edge and ivory fringe at both ends. A one-of-a-kind piece.
