A hand knotted Vintage Afghan Belouch Rug, woven circa 1970. The rug depicts a war scene, with leopards, serpents, lions, soldiers, tanks and helicopters incorporated into the design to show the brutality of conflict. The rug features vibrant red and deep blue colours, contrasted with cream and some gold tones.
Belouch Rugs come from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran and are woven near the adjacent borders of these three countries. This rug still maintains its full woollen pile and was made by highly skilled weavers to stand the test of time.
A snapshot of history, this Vintage Afghan Belouch War Rug gives an insight into the lives of those who lived through these events. Although you can lay this rug on the floor, it can also be used as a piece of textile art for walls.
