Introducing our exquisite Afghani Kazak tribal rug, a true masterpiece of craftsmanship and heritage. This rug originates from Afghanistan, specifically the Ghazni Province in the southeastern region. The weavers, predominantly from the Esari Subtribe, utilize wool sourced locally from the Ghazni Province. The rugged mountainous terrain lends itself to the production of longer staple, oilier, and higher-quality wool, which enhances the durability and longevity of the carpet.

The raw Ghazni wool undergoes a meticulous process of being hand-carted and hand-spun into carpet yarns, a task performed on the western side of Afghanistan near Herat. It is then brought to skilled weavers who weave the rug on traditional floor looms in their own homes, contributing to a cottage industry type production. The rug features an asymmetrical "Persian" knot type, ensuring an intricate and captivating design.

Made with wool pile on a cotton warp and weft, this rug embodies the perfect combination of comfort and sturdiness. The double-wefted construction and heavily packed depressed warp weaving technique result in a highly durable and resilient handwoven carpet. With a background color of teal and a rust-colored border, this rug exudes a sense of elegance and boldness.

The design of this Kazak tribal rug stems from its Afghani roots, showcasing the influence of traditional and ethnic Turkmen weavers. Many rugs belonging to this style are woven in Aqucha and Mazar Sharif, exuding the rich cultural heritage of the region. Each knot is precisely tied using 2-ply yarn, contributing to the rug's integrity and meticulous craftsmanship.

With a knots per square inch (KPSI) of 80, our rug boasts a total of 242,550 individually hand-tied knots. These centuries-old dye stuffs are all-natural, creating a vibrant and enduring color palette that will surely impress any rug enthusiast.
