Description of Design and History :
The Baluch are a people inhabiting contiguous areas of Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan collectively called Baluchistan. There are also groups of Baluch in northern Iran and Afghanistan and in Central Asia. They speak a language of the Iranian family. Pile rugs are woven by the Baluch of Khurasan in Iran and Afghanistan. Their pile rugs are usually small and characteristically thin and floppy. Most have asymmetric knots and a very few have symmetric knots. Baluchi rugs are double-wefted. Traditional colours are dark browns, dark blues, orange-reds, dark reds and black. White is used in border designs and for highlights in the field. Camel coloured wool and camel hair are also used, often in a tree-of-life prayer rug design. Touches of orange, light blue and green are sometimes used. Designs are usually all-over patterns of gul-like elements, botehs or geometricized Mina Khani patterns. Usually, there is a flatwoven strip at top and bottom of the rug. It may be striped or woven in slit-weave tapestry and include designs of continuous weft floats.
