The re-created design of this rug was made by skilled village weavers, predominantly women, in the northern parts of Afghanistan. Rug weaving provides jobs for female weavers who otherwise would not have the opportunity to work while also benefiting local farmers through wool sales and local artisans who create natural and vegetable dyes for the weavers to use.
