This runner is a unique piece of world art that will enhance your living space. Oushak has produced some of the most decorative Turkish-influenced rugs of all time. The antique Turkish Oushak design has been reproduced by Afghan weavers in the villages of northern Afghanistan by the Turkoman and Hazara tribes. This particular rug was made by the Hazara tribes in the province of Bamyan. Those vegetable dyes most commonly used are madder, the root of a spindly bush that grows abundantly in many carpet-producing areas and is used to create a red color. Walnut peel is used for dark brown, pomegranate peel for light brown, and spark which is a wildflower from the steppes, used for yellow. Due to the handmade nature of our rugs, the size may vary from as advertised by 3-4 inches. Keep your rug looking new for years to come. The handcrafted touch of artisan skill creates variations in color, size, and design. Slight differences should be expected.
