Figuration, when it appears, represents something exceptional: a weaver willing to work against the formal tendencies of the structure to produce a narrative in wool. This kilim is exactly that. Across a deep navy field, a full hunting scene unfolds: mounted horsemen, leaping deer and gazelle, birds in flight, and stylised trees, rendered in vivid coral-pink, ivory, gold, and olive with a clarity of articulation that demands close inspection. The tradition of the hunt and the paradise garden runs deep in Islamic textile art — from the Safavid court carpets of sixteenth-century Persia to the nomadic kilims of Afghanistan — and it survives here in the hands of Turkmen weavers in Herat who have not abandoned the figurative strand of their heritage. Woven entirely in wool. A piece of genuine rarity.\u003cbr\u003eA hand-woven rug is an investment piece. With proper care it will last a lifetime and become a cherished heirloom. Each knot in this collection is tied by hand by nomadic tribesmen, making every piece entirely one of a kind.\u003cbr\u003eVariations in colour and tone — known as abrash — are a hallmark of authentic handmade rugs, particularly tribal and vintage pieces. Wear and age only add to their beauty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"ikkadukka-store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43639695573058,"sku":"IDX-HS-M023105+","price":55000.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0095\/0206\/4706\/files\/M023105.jpg?v=1776147174","url":"https:\/\/ikkadukka.com\/products\/surkh-maliky-one-of-a-kind-afghan-rug","provider":"Ikka Dukka Studio Private Limited.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
