Afghan Hand Knotted Turkoman Rug 200x100cm

Feel Pai (Elephant Foot) Design Afghan Rug

This beautiful and richly detailed rug features the Feel Pai—or "Elephant Foot"—design, one of the most time-honored and revered patterns in the heritage of traditional Afghan rug weaving. The term "Feel Pai" comes from the distinctive, rounded octagonal motifs that resemble the footmarks of an elephant, symbolizing strength, stability, and grounded tribal identity. This design is closely associated with the Turkoman tribes, whose artistic traditions have shaped the cultural landscape of Central Asia for centuries.

The rug originates from the Aqcha region near Mazar-e-Sharif in northern Afghanistan, a well-known center for high-quality rug production. Located just south of the Uzbekistan border, this area has long been a crossroads of culture, trade, and textile craftsmanship. Aqcha rugs are particularly admired for their intricate knotting, bold geometric patterns, and deep, natural color palettes.

Handwoven using 100% pure wool, this rug reflects the enduring craftsmanship passed down through generations. The wool is dyed using natural plant and mineral dyes, producing rich hues of red, rust, deep brown, and ivory—colors that not only enhance the aesthetic appeal but also age beautifully over time.

Every Feel Pai rug is a testament to cultural identity, painstakingly woven with care and intention. Its striking pattern and robust texture make it an ideal piece for both contemporary and traditional interiors—perfect for adding warmth, character, and a story-rich legacy to any space.
