Title Baluch / Timuri Prayer Rug
Size 3'9" x 5'3"
Date Mid to late 19th Century
Cat. No. 189
Description The field composition consists of
repeating trees-of-life displayed across a dark
blue ground. There are two principal tree
constructs with lesser floral and tree-like
ornaments as filler motifs. As Robert Pittenger
observed in the article cited below these rugs
are much easier to enjoy than to name the tribe
that wove them. Pittenger designates this example
as a Group "A" Baluch/Timuri.
Condition: Good. There is wear to the selvedges,
some minor areas of wear, and some creases at the
base. Otherwise, the pile is full. The handle is
very supple, almost clothe-like.
Literature See: Hali 102, Pittenger, Robert,
"Border Patrol, Timuri and Baluch Blue
Ground
Prayer Rugs". (an interesting and thoughtful
article about these blue ground Baluch prayer
rugs)
Price $950.00
