Features: One-of-a-kind piece of world art Classic deep red color with elephant foot design Handmade by Turkoman weavers in Afghanistan Made of 100-percent wool and pure vegetable dyes Knot count of 160 per square inch Pile height of 0.25 inches Colors include red, navy, beige, rust, and brown Story Behind the Art: This particular rug was made in the Northern part of Afghanistan by Turkoman weavers, in the province of Balkh, in the villages surrounding the city of Mazar-e-Sharif. Due to the handmade nature of our rugs, the size may vary from as advertised by 3-4 inches. Regular vacuuming and annual professional cleaning will keep your rug looking new for years to come. The majority of the weavers are women, who live in the villages of Afghanistan, Pakistan and India. 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. Imported
