Afghan Belouch Rugs are woven within the vicinity of Herat, West Afghanistan. In appearance Afghan Belouch Rugs often have a rather dark or sombre appearance and yet the designs produced are numerous. Each one is unique; these are truely fascinating rugs!
As well as rugs, the Afghan Belouch weavers are prolific makers of Prayer Rugs, khorjins (saddle-bags), namakdans (salts bags), chanteh (small bags) and other tribal trappings. Afghan Belouch Rugs tend to be light in weight, thin in pile and flexible – afterall Afghan Belouch Rugs are essentially nomadic rugs so therefore are made to be portable.
Traditionally Afghan Belouch Rugs represent some of the best value types of handmade rugs available to buy.
