1960s Vintage Afghan Baluch Mihrab Wool Rug – 3'4'' x 6'1''

This vintage Afghan Baluch rug represents beautifully preserved tribal craftsmanship from the mid-20th century (circa 1960). It was hand-knotted by Baluch weavers along the Afghanistan-Iran border and features a traditional prayer-panel (mihrab) design, characterized by rows of small arch motifs. These repeating arches are a signature element of Baluch weaving, symbolizing spirituality, protection, and architectural harmony. Woven in rich, earthy tones of deep brown, rust red, indigo, and warm orange, the rug embodies the distinctive character of Baluch tribal aesthetics. The borders are adorned with geometric and symbolic motifs, adding depth and movement to the overall design. The wool is soft, durable, and naturally lustrous, offering a supple feel and warm, inviting texture. This piece is perfect for collectors of tribal textiles and complements interior spaces that benefit from authentic cultural artistry. Its narrow size makes it suitable for hallways, entryways, bedside placements, or as a striking accent in layered décor.
