However, this exceptional rug was made by skilled weavers in the Herat province using a primitive flat wooden loom and wool from their own sheep. All washing and natural vegetable dyeing were done in their villages. As a handmade item, the size may vary slightly from the advertised dimensions. The majority of the weavers are women who live in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India. By purchasing this rug, you are supporting these artisans and their communities.
