Additional Information:

This antique style handmade rug is from a very small production in Afghanistan where they are skilfully recreating ancient designs with colourful modern vegetable dyes. This Afghan Taimani rug has a hand-knotted hand-spun wool pile knotted onto a woollen foundation.

The Taimani belong to a group of tribes referred to as the Chahar Aimaq.  Chahar means four and aimaq is a Mongolian word for nomad.

They inhabit a large area of west-central Afghanistan, particularly around Charchagan in the provinces of Ghor and Farah. They are the largest contingent of the Chahar Aimaq confederation.
