Baluch Soumak 5.10x7.08 Rug (0GJ001)
Baluch Soumak rug. This beautiful hand knotted work of art is a true testament to the craftsmanship of tapestries. This piece features a series of eighteen panels that alternate two motifs in different color variations. One motif pictures two birds, and the other a two-headed creature. The main colors of this rug are tan, blue, and red but other colors are sprinkled throughout the work as well.
