"Baluchi" also known as "Baluch", "Baloochi, or "Balochi". Lovely rug woven by the Baloch people living in Afghanistan and Eastern Iran. The patterns in Baluchi rugs are highly varied, many consisting of repeated motifs, diagonally arranged across the field. Some present a maze of intricate latch-hooked forms, and the knotting is customarily asymmetrical. Prayer rugs, with a simple rectangular arch-head design at one end (to indicate the direction of the holy city Mecca) are common. Normally, the field of these prayer rugs is filled with the leaves and stems of a highly stylized tree, and geometric small plants appear in the spandrels. Measures approximately 3'2" x 4'9".
