Crafted using the finest materials, this rug boasts a new condition with a content of pure wool on a cotton base. The wool used is sourced from the Ghazni Province in Southeast Afghanistan, an area known for its mountainous terrain, resulting in long staple, high-quality wool ideal for carpet weaving.

Meticulously woven on traditional floor looms, this rug showcases an asymmetrical "Persian" knot type, further highlighting its authenticity. With a cotton warp and weft and an all-wool pile, the rug's construction is designed for durability. The double wefted heavily packed depressed warp weaving technique used ensures that this rug is one of the most durable handwoven carpets in existence.

As a testament to its historical significance, this rug is hand-dyed using centuries-old, all-natural dye stuffs, adding a touch of authenticity and richness to its colors.

Measuring 6'0" x 8'9", this rug features a knots per square inch (KPSI) of 80, showcasing the intricate attention to detail in its design. Based on our meticulous calculation, we estimate that this rug has a staggering 597,485 individually hand-tied knots, a testament to the skill and dedication of its weavers.
