This is an authentic Afghan Maliki kilim, handwoven in the Herat region of Afghanistan, dating back to the 1990s or early 2000s. While commonly referred to as a kilim, this piece is in fact a Soumak, a traditional flat-weave technique characterized by its decorative, wrapped weft threads which give the surface a raised, embroidered texture. • Origin: Herat, Afghanistan • Technique: Soumak (not flat kilim) • Material: 100% wool – both warp and weft (wool on wool) • Dimensions: 200 × 120 cm • Age: Approx. 20–25 years • Condition: Very good vintage condition – no holes, stains, or repairs • Colors: Deep reds, earthy browns, blues, greens • Motifs: Traditional tribal & geometric patterns This richly textured piece is both a decorative object and a collectible textile, ideal for wall display, layering over carpets, or enhancing interiors with an ethnic and artisanal touch.
