Afghan handicrafts are always very good bills. In other regions nomadic rugs are often loosely knotted and have long pile.
Unlike Afghan or Turkmen rugs which have dense and tight knots due to the Persian knot, features of velvet and goat hair or sheep's wool, soft and shiny.
But the use of goat hair is more common for warp and weft.
These carpets have a masculine aura and have always been appreciated since the 19th century for decorating the offices of businessmen.
These majestic carpets are certainly the best in Central Asia and are the work of the Afghan tribes.
The same spirit of knotting and pattern is found in the neighboring rugs from Turkmenistan belonging to the Tekke tribe, generally called Bukhara-Tekke, but the old production consists of smaller rugs, due to the distance that separates them from the Central Asia and foreign markets.
