Also rug 56. I rate this rug as older because of the very nice abrash in the indigo field, the polished knots on the back and minimal tip fading. The pattern is a classic Herati Beluch pattern, and some of the finest non-war Baluch rugs I have seen feature this design. Border and guard stripes show good attention to detail. Animals along bottom inculcate the tradition of hunting rugs, which war rugs are a kin. The drawings of the lions and deer at the bottom are well drawn.
Wool: Excellent. Soft and lustrous. Thick and Sheen: Superb, velvety, glistens when bent. Handle: Soft, supple, strong, dense. Selvedge: Goat hair overcast.
Fringe: The fringe on top is discolored with multiple colors. It looks like there was a kilim end which was removed leaving a chromatic impression on the warp threads. Pile: 3mmWarp: Grey cottonWeft: Natural Wool
Warp Depression:Almost fully depressed
