This hand-knotted Afghan wool rug from the 1970s exemplifies the traditional craftsmanship of nomadic artisans, whose skills have been passed down through generations. Entirely made of pure wool, the rug features a dense and robust structure with a soft yet slightly coarse surface and a matte finish, showcasing subtle tonal variations from the hand-dyeing process.

The primary palette is a deep, saturated red, contrasted by black, brown, and ivory accents. The edges are finished with hand-knotted fringes in a natural grey tone, highlighting the artisanal nature of the piece.
