SARPALASI: This beautiful unusual Hand-knotted rug comes from the Baluch nomad tribes of historic Herat region of Afghanistan, bordering Iran, or Persia.

Sarpalasi is characterised by an unusually long Kilim, or flat weave, borders, meaning a pile weave in the middle, with long borders on the side. What makes the rug interesting is that the border Kilim part is embroidered, hence, representing quite a few levels of detailed workmanship.

Herat was a key art and poetry centre of the old Persian civilization. The rug is known for the uniqueness of its design, and is woven from 100% wool, incorporating natural dyes. Woven as a prayer rug design, Jainamaz (meaning prayer rug in Persian) is one of the most popular categories of fine quality hand-made rugs as each piece is unique and a work of art.
