Story Behind the Art:

• This unique rug was made by Turkoman weavers in the Northern part of Afghanistan in the 1920s, in the province of Balkh in the villages surrounding the city of Mazar-e-Sharif. Handcrafted with skill and care, each rug has variations in color, size, and design. By purchasing this rug, you are not only adding a beautiful piece of art to your home but also supporting female weavers in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India. The majority of the weavers are women who make a living through rug weaving. The local community also benefits from wool sales and natural dye creation for the weavers to use in their designs.
