This is another rug I've owned for decades. And I never realized how predominate the abrash is, and it is the same on the back. The first two pics are close-ups of the back. The color is a bit off because I used a LED flash light. I would appreciate any info about it.
Thanks
Henry,
To my eyes, this is a 1950s-1960s product of northern Afghanistan. The field motifs are a modern development, and not from any particular tribal tradition. Several of the border motifs are traditional Turkmen, which fits with the region.
