This Afghan Baluchi runner displays the characteristic geometric motifs that define tribal weaving traditions. Deep burgundy and navy diamond medallions march across the center field, framed by intricate border work in ivory and rust tones. The rich color palette creates an anchoring presence that speaks to centuries of nomadic artistry. Traditional guard borders complete the composition with precise geometric detailing.

Handwoven by skilled Afghan artisans using time-honored techniques passed down through generations. The foundation is crafted from durable cotton warps with a pure wool pile, likely sourced from the highland pastures around Ghazni province. Each knot is tied by hand, creating the dense, resilient weave that allows these Baluchi rugs to withstand decades of daily use while maintaining their structural integrity and vibrant colors.

At 2'2" x 6'7", this runner works beautifully in hallways, entryways, or alongside kitchen islands. The narrow proportions suit galley-style spaces while the tribal motifs complement both traditional and modern interiors.
