Features: Handmade by skilled weavers within the Hazara tribe in the Bamyan province of Afghanistan Made with 100% wool and natural vegetable dyes Knot count of 180 per square inch and pile height of 0.25 inches Unique Kazak design in rich red, gold, brown, olive, and navy colors Variations in color, size, and design due to the handcrafted nature of the rug Story Behind the Art: The production of rugs in the Caucasus region is limited and is only done in a few villages. Therefore, these beautiful designs are being reproduced by Afghan weavers in the northern (Turkoman tribes) and central (Hazara tribes) parts of Afghanistan. As we grow, we are able to create more jobs for female weavers who otherwise would not have the opportunity to do so. The community also thrives from rug weaving as the local farmers benefit from wool sales, and the local artisans create natural and vegetable dyes for the weavers to use in their designs. Note: Due to the handmade nature of this rug, sizes may vary by 3-4 inches. Color discrepancies may occur between this product and your computer screen. Imported.
