Crafted by nomadic hands, this handwoven antique 1900s Baluch prayer rug showcases the Baluchi tribe's devotion and artistry. The intricate Mihrab design at its heart beckons one to prayer, while the elephant feet motifs symbolize strength and endurance, echoing the nomadic spirit of its creators.
The rug's wild orange hues, dyed with saturated, vegetable-based colors, evoke the vivid landscapes of the Baluchi homeland. Its floppy and soft texture, a testament to years of use, invites you to touch and connect with a time long past.
This rug likely belonged to a nomad, a solitary soul traversing vast terrains. Imagine the stories it could tell—witnessing daily travels, silent prayers, and the passage of time. Owning this rug is like holding a piece of history, a tangible link to the Baluchi tribe's nomadic heritage.
Bring the warmth, tradition, and spirituality of the Baluch people into any space in need of a bit of character and charm. Will ship with a pad on the house to keep this little gem nice and snug. This little treasure is low pile, worn and with a soft and floppy handle.
