Tribal Rugs

Afghan Ensi

Rug weaving is a fundamental activity for nomadic tribal groups.  It is an essential part of their lives, and rugs are not woven for financial gain.  The weavers use small horizontal looms which are easily dismantled even after the rug even after weaving has begun.  Small rugs are produced, often narrow in shape and decorated with abstract or stylised geometric designs.  Each tribal group has a typical style or pattern which is committed to memory having been passed down the generations.  The number of colours is usually few, and can be either bright or dark but, in general, are strongly contrasting.  The weavings produced are used as rugs, wall hangings, bed coverings and bags.
