Afghan Hand Knotted Turkoman Rug 300x200cm

This stunning, high-quality tribal rug is a magnificent example of Afghan weaving tradition, featuring the iconic Mauri Gul design—a symbol of strength, heritage, and timeless beauty. Handcrafted by the nomadic Turkoman tribes of Afghanistan, this large rug is rich in both cultural meaning and artisanal skill.

What sets this particular piece apart is its distinctive use of green—a color less commonly seen in traditional Turkoman rugs. The lush green tones are beautifully balanced with deep reds, earthy browns, and soft neutrals, creating a vibrant yet harmonious palette that adds uniqueness and depth to the classic Mauri Gul pattern. Green is often associated with prosperity and nature in Central Asian symbolism, making this rug both visually captivating and culturally meaningful.

The Mauri Gul motif—characterized by bold, repeating octagonal patterns—is one of the oldest and most beloved designs to come out of Afghanistan. It speaks to centuries of tradition and the enduring legacy of tribal craftsmanship.

Originating in northern Afghanistan, this rug hails from a region just south of the former Soviet state of Uzbekistan—an area known for its thriving rug trade and skilled artisans. The weaving centers here, especially around Aqcha and Mazar-e-Sharif, are famed for producing some of the finest rugs in the country.

Woven entirely from 100% pure wool, this piece offers a naturally soft yet durable texture, making it ideal for both decorative and functional use. The wool is dyed using natural, plant-based dyes, ensuring that the colors are not only rich and vivid but also environmentally friendly and long-lasting.

Whether displayed in a traditional setting or used as a bold statement in a contemporary interior, this rare green Mauri Gul rug is a conversation piece—a work of art woven with history, tradition, and soul.
