    Peach, ochre and plum combine in a long chain of diamonds on this runner. Cream stepped edges follow the central sequence, with little hooked figures and angular marks extending towards the sides. The diamond interiors change from one compartment to the next, introducing pale yellow, pink and darker red. Fine horizontal shifts give the warm ground a closely varied appearance. Measuring 292 × 82 cm, this runner would suit a passage or the floor beside a bed. Cream walls would pick up the lighter outlines, while warm timber could relate to the ochre.

    A small plum accessory would draw out the deeper centres without requiring strong colour throughout the surrounding space. The repeated chain remains readable from either end. Narrow kilims belong to the wider domestic furnishing traditions of Afghanistan and neighbouring regions. Familiar angular units can be extended along a longer axis, preserving the visual rhythm of a broader rug within a different proportion.

    Here the diamond is repeated continuously, but its changing interior prevents the sequence from becoming uniform. The pale side shapes are important to the balance. They give the darker centres room and carry a broader zigzag movement along the length. At close range, the small hooks add another scale of detail. With a little clear floor around its edges, the runner would provide a warm, well defined decorative line through an otherwise plainly furnished passage.
