Named 'Naksh' which translates to 'pattern' in Dari, a language spoken in Maimana, this rug reflects the traditional weaving techniques that have been passed down for generations. It takes two to four months to produce each runner, utilizing hand-spun wool that is dyed with natural roots and bark in small batches. This results in soft color variations known as abrash, adding depth and character to the weave.
