| This is a classic version of this design. Years ago, most of these rugs were brown on brown; but the blue and brown work better together. The blue and brown compliment each other well within a limited value range (range of light and dark) The color palette is limited and very subtle. The five borders are typical of this type. |
| Wool: This rug's wool is thick, soft and dense | Sheen: Good with a soft luster | Handle: The thick pile makes it more sturdy than the most floppy Baluchi rugs. | Selvedge: Well covered selvedge. Material is thick goat hair in the braided style typical of this region. |
| Fringe: No klim ends. Rug is closed with a two cord weft brocade, then short brown fringe. | Pile: 7 - 8 mm | Warp: Brown wool | Weft: Grey cotton |
| Warp Depression:Alternating warps are depressed by about 45 degrees, so the back of the rug has a corduroy texture. Warps may lay flat (undepressed) or warps may be burried | |||
