These Hazara tribes people are mostly Shia Muslim and badly persecuted by the Taliban majority. Beautifully finished with bound fringes, we have rarely found such a special collection of such gorgeous rugs. Very finely knotted using natural dyes but woven at almost the maximum density for hand-spun as it has a thicker ply of wool. This combined with the long staple Ghazni wool requiring less twisting when handspun means the lustre is incredible with a wonderful difference from whichever end the rug is viewed from. Consequently they will last over generations. Although they tend to copy the Bokhara elephant foot design we try to buy rugs from these tribes people that are from their own designs and culture, these typically include their local shawl patterns and rustic interpretations of animals, trees and flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery pile rug has a nap so that the pile lies in one direction. This means there is a lighter end and and darker end for each rug which is why there are photographs from both ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClearance rugs are sold including our top quality German underlay unless other options shown. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFree shipping Canada wide.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Canadian Rug Traders","offers":[{"title":"RUG INCLUDING NON-SLIP GERMAN UNDERLAY","offer_id":40977298292785,"sku":"D3182-underlay","price":1742.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0887\/0748\/files\/82.360204307x81cm_10_1x2_8D.jpg?v=1776361664","url":"https:\/\/canadianrugtraders.ca\/products\/d3182","provider":"Canadian Rug Traders","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
