This Afghan Vegetable Kilim showcases the traditional geometric artistry of Turkmenian weavers from northern Afghanistan. The flat-weave construction displays intricate diamond and hexagonal motifs across the field, creating rhythmic patterns that draw the eye along its length. The vibrant palette combines rich reds, deep blues, golden yellows and ivory accents in classic Maimana style. Natural vegetable dyes give each hue depth and character that will only improve with age.

Handwoven by skilled Turkmenian artisans using time-honored techniques passed down through generations, this kilim is crafted from 100% natural Afghan wool. The flat-weave construction makes it remarkably durable while remaining lightweight and reversible. Ghazni wool from Afghanistan's highland regions provides exceptional resilience and a lustrous finish that stands up to daily use. The vegetable dye process creates colors that fade gracefully rather than losing their appeal over time.

At 2' 7" x 6' 4", this runner works beautifully in hallways, alongside beds, or as a galley kitchen accent. The geometric patterns complement both traditional and contemporary interiors, while the manageable size makes it ideal for layering or defining narrow spaces. This authentic kilim rug represents centuries of Afghan weaving tradition. Sourced directly by ALRUG from Afghanistan weavers since 2002, free worldwide shipping.
