Story

Gorgeous antique Baluch ๐™‰๐™–๐™ข๐™–๐™ ๐™™๐™–๐™ฃ saltbox used for storing one of the most precious commodities in the pre modern world: salt.

It's a functional artifact of powerful beauty and irrepressible charm. Note the extent of the effort the weaver went to, with each face having a radically different design.

Complete & intact with lustrous, ultra soft lambswool and deeply saturated natural dyes.

Highly collectible -- one of the best examples I have handled.

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
