An exceptional collector’s piece, this rare Baluch main carpet is a true showcase of tribal artistry. Dating to the third quarter of the 19th century, its generous size indicates it was crafted as a prestigious "Khan" or chief's carpet. The field features the rare and sought-after "Crab" (Harshang) design, artfully accented with stylized chicken and bird motifs—a extraordinarily scarce combination in Baluch weavings. Masterfully framed by intricate borders, this carpet possesses a commanding presence and timeless character.
