This is a wonderful old Baluch rug with a classic "Turkmen Line" border and an archaic medallion design. The dentilated teeth of the dentilated inner guard that bites into the camel field is something I have seen in flatweaves especially Sofrehs but never before in a pile rug. There is a pink red that can be seen in the detail shot which if it were my rug I would have tested to see if it is an insect based dye.

Turkmen Line Border

The border is related to Baluch Woven Treasures Plates 9, 11, and 20.As well as related to two rugs that I have recently reviewed, The Dodds Baluch Rug,and Antique Baluch Rug. I suppose if I searched long enough I could find a published example of this field design but none come to mind as I write this. One of the charms of Baluch rugs is how they be so similar and yet so individualistic.
