About this piece
Details: Origin: Herat, Afghanistan Age: Circa 1950 Dimensions: 3′ x 5′ (approximate) Description: This hand-woven, one-of-a-kind Herat Baluch Pile Prayer Rug was made by the nomadic people who traveled throughout the deserts of Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan whilst living in their tents. These people would often travel from cooler weather to warm weather. This rug contains many symbols of mosques and praise, and represent spirituality. The colors of red, blue and white represent exotic energy, clarity, water, sky, purity, and cleanliness.
