This kilim is of that category. The deep red field is covered in a dense allover repeat of small diamond and cross devices, each one precisely executed in the slit-woven tapestry technique, each one contributing to a surface of considerable depth and visual richness that no single element could produce alone. The multicoloured narrow border strands at head and foot — worked in vivid sequential tones — provide horizontal punctuation to the sustained pattern. Woven entirely in wool by Turkmen craftspeople in Herat. The fineness of the repeat at this scale demonstrates a level of execution that separates this from ordinary flat-weave production.\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":43640995119170,"sku":"IDX-HS-M025352","price":17000.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0095\/0206\/4706\/files\/M025352.jpg?v=1776161162","url":"https:\/\/ikkadukka.com\/products\/zarbaaf-maliky-one-of-a-kind-afghan-rug-1","provider":"Ikka Dukka Studio Private Limited.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
