This is a very fine quality Persian Baluch prayer rug/accent rug that was hand-knotted by expert Baluchi tribal weavers using fine quality wool, a high knot count or KPSI (knots per square inch) for precise details. and only natural dyes. The colors really pop against the dark background.  This rug was designed as a prayer rug with its mosque-like outline defining the rug's central design, but it can also be used as an accent rug or a tapestry/wall-hanging. The intricate geometric and tribal motifs that adorn the rug add beautiful details that will continue to emerge and delight as you get closer to the rug. The black backdrop is a dramatic canvas for all of the highly detailed decorative motifs in gold, cranberry red, sapphire blue, chocolate and rust.  The architectural structure that represents the mosque with multiple turrets is created with concentric layers of ornamentation in all of the colors above. There are beautiful designs and tribal elements throughout the rug.  The border is another beautiful decorative element of the rug, a sapphire blue frame with a repeating geometric motif in the rug's colors.  This rug is made of fine, soft lambswool, which gives it a soft pile that can withstand high traffic and will last generations.  Size: 2'8"x4'6"
