The most eagerly sought after Baluch rugs recently have been so-called Bird Baluch, their designs composed of stylized peacocks lined up in rows. They are usually brown in main color, occasionally deep indigo and rarely red. What makes this example unique is that it is also a prayer rug, the only such instance I have seen of a bird-prayer Baluch!
I must say this one of the most enriching carpet purchase experiences I ever had. This was not a mere transaction but more an experience about art and history. Dr Maktabi's experience and knowledge in this space is second to none. Highly recommended! R.A., Doha, Qatar
