Origin
This rug is a modern handcrafted version of traditional Mumlook design and is handwoven in Afghanistan by artisans who are experts in tribal weaving. Based on centuries of local handwork, the work unites geometry with contemporary non-symmetry. Behind every knot is a history- ancient symbology is maintained, and yet unpredictable moments of the eye are opened by moving with the color fields.
Materials
Made of 100 per cent hand-spun Ghazni wool, the rug is dyed in natural vegetal dyes, including indigo, walnut husk, madder root, and pomegranate skin. Non-chemical and the colors age gracefully. The rug contains sheen and resilience due to the high lanolin of Ghazni wool.
Design
The rug composition has three overlapping medallions, with floral latticework and borders of panels on the sides. It has a painterly energy with background areas screaming in deep navy, crimson, and saffron splashes. Fine patterns such as stars, diamonds, and crosses stabilize the chaos by making up a harmonizing and balanced pattern.
Craftsmanship
This rug is knotted tightly and with extreme accuracy, and both sides of the rug are just as visible. The motif, the border and the medallion are all positioned purposively. The neatly trimmed fringe and strengthened selvedges ensure durability and beauty, whereas the pliable hand-feel of the rug will be the indication of its handmade status and high-quality material (wool).
Heritage
This Mumlook rug is a celebration of a hybrid tradition because the tribal storytelling of the past meets contemporary textile art of the present. Spiritual unity of the medallions and personal interpretation of the freeform dye fields are expressed. Such rugs used to be specific to noble courts, but today, they are used as heirloom pieces in homes interested in cultural craft works.
Where bold structure meets dyed abstraction—this Mumlook rug is a living fusion of tradition and creative freedom.
