Antique Prayer-rug, Taimani Tribes of the Chahar Aimaq, West-central Afghanistan.

1900 - 1920
Description

This gorgeous little prayer-rug has to be seen to be fully appreciated. The wool is soft and silky and the natural colours are simply subtle and glowing. Particularly attractive is the use of two shades of green. Made by Taimani tribes, part of the Chahar Aimaq (meaning four nomads), they occupy a large part of west-central Afghanistan, particularly around Charchagan in the provinces of Ghor and Farah. They are semi-nomadic, migrating from their winter dwellings at the end of March to the high summer pastures where they will spend the summer until their return in September. The wool in their antique rugs and weavings came from the Ghilzai sheep, renowned for being soft and lustrous, as is found in this delightful little rug.

Size: 1.30m x 0.94m (4' 3" x 3' 1").
