A thunderous procession of stepped diamonds marches across a volcanic rust-red field, bracketed by jagged black serrations and radiant orange accents. This antique Baluch tribal rug offers a bold, kinetic geometry emblematic of the desert-weaving traditions along the Iran-Afghanistan border. The design pulses with symmetry and shadow-play, while the tactile surface retains the gentle irregularities of handspun wool and vegetal dye migration. Its compact scale and dramatic palette make it a commanding presence in even the most minimalist interior.
