Baluch Tribal Rug | 2'11" x 5' | c. Mid-20th Century
Details
A rhythm of mountain peaks and lightning strikes dances across this hand-knotted Baluch tribal rug, anchored by diamond medallions nested in jagged, energetic waves. Woven with wool dyed in richly saturated reds, soft greens, and dark plum against a camel-toned field, this piece is both grounded and electric. A fine example of nomadic artistry from the Baluch tradition, its balanced palette and soft handle make it quietly magnetic.
