Turkmen Balochi

Baluchi rugs are woven by the Baluch tribes, semi-nomadic people who inhabit regions spanning eastern Iran, western Afghanistan, and Pakistan. This exceptional Baluchi prayer rug features the classic mihrab (prayer niche) design with a striking ivory field adorned with a mesmerizing all-over geometric pattern. The field showcases repeating diamond and hexagonal motifs arranged in vertical columns, creating a sophisticated tribal lattice effect in deep burgundy and brown tones against the cream background. The geometric precision and tribal symbolism are characteristic of Baluchi weaving—each motif carries cultural significance and demonstrates the weaver's skill in creating complex patterns from memory.
