Story Behind the Art:

• This rug was created in the Bhadohi village of Varanasi, India, where weavers re-create the original Gabbeh design. Due to the handmade nature of this rug, the size may vary from the advertised size by 3-4 inches. The majority of the weavers are women who live in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India. By purchasing this rug, you are creating job opportunities for female weavers who would not otherwise have access to such opportunities. The rug weaving community also benefits local farmers who sell wool and artisans who create natural and vegetable dyes for use in the weavers' designs.
• Note: As this rug is handcrafted, variations in color, size and design may occur. If purchasing two of the same item, slight differences should be expected. Color discrepancies may occur between this product and your computer screen.
