Bands of vivid tribal pattern run in vertical stripes across the centre of this hand-knotted Ghazni — rows of cypress trees, zigzags, hooked diamonds, little flowers and running borders in red, gold, blue, green, cream and brown, each stripe a different tribal motif. A deep madder-red border with a scrolling vine frames the lively centre, giving the rug the warm, festive character of a classic tribal Khorjin weave.
Hand-knotted in Afghanistan from fine, hand-spun Ghazni highland wool, the pile is dense and finely knotted, giving crisp detail in every narrow band. Coloured with natural dyes and worked entirely by hand, the colours glow with gentle abrash and every stripe is drawn a little differently — the honest mark of a genuine one-of-a-kind, hand-made piece.
