This striking Afghan Tribal rug is a quintessential example of nomadic artistry, hand-knotted in lustrous Ghazni wool. Its rich oxblood red field is adorned with rows of octagonal “gul” motifs—ancestral emblems symbolizing strength and protection—outlined in deep indigo and golden ochre. The fine weave and compact structure reflect the discipline of tribal weavers, while the repeating medallion pattern adds rhythmic balance and visual depth. Woven with natural dyes, the tones age gracefully, deepening with time. Ideal for hallways or narrow spaces, this elegant runner embodies tradition, craftsmanship, and timeless cultural expression rooted in Central Asia’s enduring weaving heritage.
