The Taimani, or Tiamani, tribe is located in Afghanistan and is known for producing distinctive tribal rugs. These rugs often feature bold geometric patterns, intricate motifs, and rich colors, reflecting the tribe’s cultural heritage and nomadic lifestyle.

The Taimani prayer rugs and khordjin faces showcase the tribe’s expertise in weaving, with examples such as a circa 1880 Taimani prayer rug and a mid-19th-century khordjin face from northwestern Afghanistan, both of which exemplify the craftsmanship and traditional designs of this tribe.
