Antique Prayer-rug, Timuri Dokhtar-e-qazi Tribe, Western Afghanistan.

19th century
Description

The prayer-rugs with this specific design incorporating a pointed mihrab on an indigo-blue background with overall small 'shrub' or 'tree' in the central field, belong to a small sub-tribe of the Timuri called the Dokhtar-e-Qazi (daughter of the Judge or Khan). Rugs of this quality from the 19th century rarely appear on the market these days and this one is one of the best - a beautiful example of the type with a wonderful palette of vegetable dyes. The last one in my possession was many years ago and published in my book 'Tribal Rugs - Treasures of the Black Tent' under the 'Timuri' section.

This rug dates to circa 1860-1870.

Size: 1.53m x 1.12m (5' 0" x 3' 8").
