Whimsical Afghani Wall Hanging

This beautiful Afghan handmade artisan rug showcases a vibrant display of tribal and symbolic patterns using earthy tones—reds, oranges, browns, and greens—against a neutral base and with a rose coloured border. The motifs include human figures, animals, birds, trees, and geometric shapes, all arranged in a balanced and symmetrical layout.

This rug is made using the knotted technique, a labour-intensive and traditional method where individual knots are tied by hand onto the warp threads of the loom. The result is a rug that not only has intricate designs but also a soft, rich texture that can last generations.

This type of rug is both decorative and functional, ideal for hanging as a wall tapestry (as shown in the image) or laid on the floor.

This rug has undergone professional cleaning and remains in very good condition. The rug’s shape is very slightly irregular, which is typical for handmade or traditionally woven pieces, adding to its authenticity and charm.
