This Afghan saddle bag showcases the traditional Khurjeen design with bold geometric patterns arranged in symmetrical diamond formations. The intricate motifs feature a rich palette of deep reds, navy blues, and ivory accents that create striking contrast across the wool surface. The compact rectangular format retains the authentic proportions of functional saddlebags once used by nomadic tribes, while the dense knotting reveals fine detail work throughout each geometric element.

Woven by skilled Afghan artisans using time-honored techniques passed down through generations, this piece represents the enduring craft tradition of Central Asian nomadic communities. The foundation is built with durable local wool, while the pile uses premium Ghazni wool known for its resilience and natural luster. Hand-knotted construction ensures each knot locks securely into place, creating a textile that can withstand decades of use while maintaining its structural integrity.

At 1'2" x 3', this runner works beautifully in narrow hallways, as a kitchen accent, or beside beds and entryways. The proportions suit smaller spaces where a larger rug would overwhelm, while the geometric patterns complement both traditional and contemporary interiors. This piece joins our curated collection of oriental rugs sourced directly by ALRUG from Afghan weavers since 2002, free worldwide shipping.
