Tchubi: Khal Mohammadi and Afghan Aqche are two of the most popular types of Afghan carpets. The Khal Mohammadi are hand-knotted by the Turkmen of northern Afghanistan. Their main colors are deep red tones in their various shades. The motifs are the göl (a motif resembling an elephant’s foot) and the octagon (an eight-sided figure), often accompanied by stylized flowers in dark blue, ochre, and beige. Afghan Aqche carpets are hand-knotted by the Turkmen of central and northern Afghanistan.
The velvet, the warp, and the weft are made of wool, goat hair, and, in some cases, horsehair.
