Baluch Soumak 5.10x7.08 Rug (0GJ001)

Baluch Soumak rug. This beautiful hand knotted work of art is a true testament to the craftsmanship of tapestries. This piece features a series of eighteen panels that alternate two motifs in different color variations. One motif pictures two birds, and the other a two-headed creature. The main colors of this rug are tan, blue, and red but other colors are sprinkled throughout the work as well. The border between the panels is a similar repeating motif of a horse-like creature that alternates colors in each repetition. The edges of this piece are accented with small tufts in red, green, white, and blue. This beautifully crafted piece is a unique and eye-catching addition to a space that would be best displayed hanging.

Zollanvari introduced ‘Baluch Soumaks’ to the market for the first time in collaboration with Baluch nomads.‎ These weavings combine kilim, soumak and pile weaving techniques to create a multi-textured jewel-like surface that gives the rugs depth and a three- dimensional appearance.‎ They are now being woven in the southeast, home to Afshar nomads who were originally from Turkey.‎
