Story Behind the Art:

• Master Turkoman weavers in the Northern part of Afghanistan have created the beautiful pattern of this rug. These beautiful designs are achieved by interweaving the various colors of the vertical and horizontal strands of the kilim. Due to the handmade nature of each kilim, the size may vary from the advertised size by 3-4 inches. The majority of the weavers are women who live in the villages of Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India. By purchasing this kilim, you are providing jobs for female weavers who may not have had the opportunity otherwise.
