Aimaq
The Aimaq are a group of nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes living primarily in western Afghanistan. They are known for producing rugs and textiles related to the Baluch weaving tradition. Aimaq rugs typically feature dark color palettes dominated by deep reds, browns, and blues. Designs often include repeating geometric patterns, prayer rug layouts, and stylized tribal motifs. These rugs are appreciated for their authentic tribal character and rich natural dyes.
