Baluchistan is an arid, desert and mountainous region on the Iranian plateau in south-western Asia, northwest of the Arabian Sea. It mainly includes southwestern Pakistan, southeastern Iran and a very small section of southwestern Afghanistan. The southern part of Baluchistan is known by its historical name Makran.Baluchistan is named after the native Baloch tribes who make up the inhabitants in the region and use Baluchi as their native language. Persian, Pashtu and Urdu are also used as second language depending on where they live, Brahui is spoken by Brahui minority. The Baloch are traditionally nomads, but settled agricultural existence is becoming more common; every chief has a fixed residence. The villages are collections of mud or stone huts; on the hills, enclosures of rough stone walls are covered with matting to serve as temporary habitations. The Baloch raise camels, cattle, sheep, and goats and engage in carpet making and embroidery. Their agricultural methods are primitive. Overall condition is clean and ready to immediate use .This lovely small Baluchi nomad rug is soft ,smooth and would enhance your collection .I believe it can be a great Yoga rug or wall hanging .All side cord casting is complete,and made of goat\'s hair and excellent finishing .Of course we should expect to see simple ,naive nomad weaving unlike those that are made professionally .
