The Timuri Balouch carpets are woven by the nomadic Timuri tribe in Western Afghanistan, particularly in the Herat province and Kushk district. These rugs are known for their intricate geometric designs, vibrant colors, and tribal motifs, often reflecting the nomadic lifestyle of the weavers. Timuri prayer rugs are especially notable for their symbolic motifs and compact size.
A notable example includes a mid-to-late 19th-century Timuri Baluchi carpet from northwestern Afghanistan, showcasing the tribe’s characteristic weaving style.
