A dramatic antique herati Baluch tribal gallery runner — three massive concentric diamond medallions radiate outward in electric violet and purple zigzag lines against a near-black indigo ground, each centering a small geometric diamond in ivory and red. The pulsing optical energy of the design is a hallmark of the Mushwani tribal tradition from western Afghanistan. Amber corner squares and a red border of repeating geometric medallion roundels complete the composition. Rendered in near-black, deep indigo, violet, purple, crimson red, ivory, and amber. An exceptional statement for hallways, living rooms, dining rooms, and home offices — a natural fit for bohemian, eclectic, global, maximalist, and moody dark-interior design styles. Hand-knotted wool on wool foundation. Desirable age wear and patina throughout. Origin: Unknown. Measures 4'6" x 9'0".
