Antique Camel ground Baluch Prayer Rug

Antique Afghan Baluch prayer rug with a camel-hair ground decorated with a repeating geometric "tree of life" or shrub pattern. The central field tapers into a pointed mihrab(prayer arch), enclosed by intricate, multi-layered borders in deep madder red, indigo, and dark brown. Hand-knotted by nomadic tribal weavers, its rich color palette and geometric tribal motifs are highly representative of Baluch rugs from the Afghan-Persian borderlands.
