A finely hand-knotted Balouch rug woven in the border regions of eastern Iran or western Afghanistan, this piece features the classic tribal aesthetic of the Balouch weaving tradition. The wool pile is dyed in rich shades of madder red, deep navy, rust, and ivory, centered around two geometric medallions flanked by stylized floral and cross motifs. Multiple narrow borders frame the central field, including a distinctive "running dog" outer band in ivory and brown. The back shows asymmetrical Persian knots and a tightly packed weave typical of nomadic craftsmanship. Modest in size but full of character, this rug embodies the earthy charm and utility of tribal Balouch work.
