This Antique Original Burial Baluch Dated Rug – 2'10" x 5' is an extraordinary and deeply symbolic tribal textile, historically used as a casket covering. Dated on all four corners, it is a rare and authentic example of Baluch weaving tradition. Handcrafted by the Baluch people of Southwestern Afghanistan, this rug features the hallmarks of fine Baluch artistry—rich, natural dyes, deeply saturated colors, and exceptionally soft wool. The influence of the Mushwani tribe, known for their intricate detail and spiritual symbolism, is likely reflected in the rug’s craftsmanship.

Measuring 2'10" x 5', this rug holds not just decorative beauty but cultural and historical significance. As a ceremonial burial piece, it carries profound meaning and serves as a testament to the reverence and skill of the Baluch weavers. Offered by the Santa Barbara Design Center, this rug is a true collector’s item—ideal for those seeking a rare, museum-worthy textile that tells a powerful story through pattern and tradition.
