PRAYER'S RUG by Baloch
This piece was woven by the Baluchi people in Afghanistan.

The Baluch people were originally nomadic shepherds, but since the 1920s and 1930s, the number of sedentary and semi-settled groups has increased.
In the carpet world, especially within Afghanistan, the nomadic Baluchi people have increasingly come to be referred to as Maldari, which literally means nomadic, in order to distinguish between sedentary and nomadic carpet making.

This piece is also believed to have been woven by the nomadic Baluchi, and perhaps due to the difference in the loom, the weaving appears to be a little looser and softer than that of sedentary types.

Called a mihrab, it is a raised design originally used for prayer rugs, and this rug in particular follows the design of Dokkhta-e Kaziy (The Judge's Daughter), a rug with a wonderful story that was woven in the mid-19th century.

Mihrabs are said to be a popular design in Europe these days and are also popular as home furnishings.
This is a masterpiece that has been praised not only for its thoughtfulness but also for its quality as an item.

This is a piece with a very atmospheric, slightly faded look that can be placed prominently in your entranceway or by a window where it can blend in nicely.
