Size: 4ft 2in x 2ft 10in (126x 86cm). 

Antique Baluch prayer rug of rare form with Turkmen design. 

Circa 1880 or earlier. 

This rare rug with Turkmen inspired design is considered by Craycraft to be by the Sarakh Baluch. The two vertical rows of large round Turkmen guls appear to be disappearing at the top under the mihrab giving a three dimensional effect. The minor guls are also of Turkmen design. The rug is in good condition with even wear and medium pile. The rug is suitable for light domestic use. This is a rare rug from a scarce group of weavings it is very collectible and would make a superb wall hanging.
