It's odd to see such an uncommon Baluch prayer rug. The ivory field and very neatly arranged botehs give the first impression that this is a Marasali Caucasian. However it is a true Baluch, one that perhaps drank in outside influences and was not restrained by local custom. This makes it quite an odd and attractive piece. Original end kilims, preserved to the max along with full pile.
