These exquisite rugs are knotted in Mazar-e-Sharif in Afghanistan, and its surrounding villages. Possibly the finest of all Afghan tribal rugs, these pieces are always knotted in rich reds and blues, with fine vegetable dyed wool that gives the appearance of silk . These designs feature a fine repeated gul design, not unlike turkmon rugs. Afghan carpets are well known for their beautiful red nuance and durability.
