This captivating piece showcases a sophisticated allover geometric pattern set against a rich field of dark red, complemented by harmonious tones of dark navy blue and warm caramel. Hailing from the Baluch tribes residing in the southeast corner of Persia and western Afghanistan, this rug exemplifies their renowned weaving traditions, often characterized by the masterful use of dark red, rust red, or various shades of brown as primary colors in their hand-woven rugs, saddlebags, and salt bags.

The main field is subtly yet powerfully framed by four different, meticulously detailed borders, creating a layered complexity that makes this a remarkably subtle tribal rug.
