Afghan Runner
I'm posting photos of a rug (runner) purchased in Herat, Afghanistan (as were all of my previous posts).
From what I've read, Herat has been a rug trading city going back many, many years.
It is located in western Afghanistan near their border with Iran.
From the looks of this one it is fairly new.
I'd like to learn as much as possible about it.
I like it, as can be seen in the close ups, my dog loves it too!
All info is appreciated.
Origin, age, and value.
Thanks in advance.

More rugs to post!
