NOTES
This striking small Baluch tribal rug has an overall design of stylised flowers in beautiful natural colours. The unusual Birds Head main border highlights the centre field while the mid-blue colours used in the secondary S-borders draw particular atention to the use of blue and turqouis in the central field.
