Moqari kilim. Sometimes these are described as being made by Muldari - a semi-nomadic group of cow herders - or Koochi - gypsy-like people who move throughout Afghanistan. Probably made in Ghazni province. These rugs invariably have the same format - a long slit-weave kilim with central diamond medallions and eight pointed stars in the borders. However, all of the kilims are individual designs. Made in small numbers by a small group of people. This one has been made with a natural brown wool dyed with a fugitive red - the red is still visible on the reverse. 400x148cm. A$1800. US$1350. Euro1060.
