A hand-woven rug made from 100% hand-spun wool, woven in the Ghazni region of Afghanistan.
Measuring 243×176cm, this large rug has a strong presence and can comfortably adorn a living room.

The wool comes from sheep raised in the local area, carefully hand-spun and dyed with natural dyes extracted from plants and natural materials. It boasts a soft, profound color palette not found in chemical dyes. The base is a subdued natural gray, beautifully accented by gentle touches of red, blue, green, and orange. Its expression changes with the light, deepening in character over time.

The design intricately weaves in motifs such as the tree of life, flowers, and patterns reminiscent of birds and animals. These are traditional patterns symbolizing abundance, family prosperity, and wishes for peace. Born from the nomadic lifestyle and passed down through generations, their stories quietly breathe within the weave.

The Ghazni region has flourished as a key trading hub since ancient times, and its culture of craftsmanship is still carefully preserved. The wool from sheep raised in the high altitudes with significant temperature differences is strong and highly durable. Originally, Gabbeh and tribal rugs were practical items woven by people living in harsh environments for their own use. Durability and longevity were always the primary considerations.

It pairs well with wooden floors, solid wood furniture, and even tatami mats in Japanese-style rooms, bringing a natural warmth to the space. It also harmonizes well with modern interiors, adding a soft accent.
