A mesmerizing matrix of repeating boteh motifs flows across this antique Baluch tribal rug, each one rendered in deep navy, soft tan, and ivory against a madder red field. The subtle abrash gives the field a warm, living pulse, while the indigo-dyed border frames the composition with understated geometry. This piece offers both soul and symmetry, speaking to the quiet sophistication of nomadic craftsmanship.
