Antique Baluch Camel Ground Prayer Rug - Baluch Tribes of Herat - 2nd Half 19th Century

Wonderful prayer rug with camel ground and intricately brocaded skirts. See tribal rugs, treasures of the black tent, Brian MacDonald, page 242, colour plate 179 for a similar weaving, that example attributable to the taimuri tribes of herat. It was in a private collection in the UK. It has some wear in places but no holes or reweaves. Plenty of images of rug. Hand washed and de-dusted.
