BALUCH rugs are woven by the nomadic Baluchi ethnic groups of Western Afghanistan and Eastern Iran. Very geometric and intricate in design, borrowing largely from Turkoman influence especially in the use of the "gul" or elephant foot motif. They also weave saddlebags, salt bags, prayer rugs, which reflect their nomadic way of life.
