The origin of this rug lies in Afghanistan, specifically known for its skilled weavers from the Esari Subtribe. The wool used in this rug is sourced from sheep in the Ghazni Province, known for its mountainous terrain that naturally produces longer staple oily wool ideal for carpet weaving. The raw Ghazni wool is then brought to the western side of Afghanistan, where it is hand carted and spun into carpet yarn in the city of Herat.
