tribal rug
Handwoven ethnic carpet
A tribal rug is a handwoven carpet made by nomadic or semi-nomadic peoples, typically in regions of Central Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa.
These rugs feature bold geometric patterns and natural dyes, reflecting the cultural traditions of groups like the Baluch, Turkmen, and Kurdish peoples.
Unlike formal Persian rugs with intricate floral designs, tribal rugs tend toward simpler, more spontaneous compositions: The tribal rug's slight irregularities give it character.
