Story Behind the Art:
- This rug was handcrafted by Turkoman weavers in the northern part of Afghanistan, specifically in the province of Balkh surrounding the city of Mazar-e-Sharif. The majority of these skilled weavers are women who live in villages throughout Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India. By purchasing this rug, you are supporting these artisans and helping to create more jobs for female weavers who otherwise would not have this opportunity. The rug weaving community also benefits local farmers who sell wool and local artisans who create natural and vegetable dyes for use in the designs. Due to the handmade nature of this product, size may vary from advertised by 3-4 inches. Regular vacuuming and professional cleaning ensures your rug will look new for years to come. Color discrepancies may occur between this product and your computer screen.
