Origins and Historical Context

• Baluch Ethnic Group: The Baluch (or Baloch) are a nomadic and semi-nomadic ethnic group spanning Afghanistan, Iran, and Pakistan. Afghan Baluch communities are concentrated in southern Afghanistan (Nimruz, Helmand, Kandahar) and western regions near the Iranian border.
• Weaving Tradition: Baluch rug-making dates back centuries, influenced by Persian, Turkic, and Central Asian textile traditions. Their rugs were historically woven for practical use (e.g., tents, bedding) and as trade items.

Design and Craftsmanship

  • Wool: Hand-spun from local sheep, prized for durability.
  • Natural Dyes: Derived from indigo, madder, pomegranate, and walnuts, creating deep reds, blues, and browns.

• Designs:
  • Geometric Patterns: Bold motifs like hexagons, diamonds, and stepped medallions.
  • Tribal Symbols: Abstracted animal or plant forms, tribal guls (emblematic motifs), and prayer
