Notes
Eye catcher from this rug is its Latch hook line border which lines lead from bottom left to top right. Additional borders can be found on this rug, not even this is unusual for a Baluch.
Probably due to the design change in main field after its first quarter, the seller I bought this rug from compared it with Turkmen Ensis.
This idea could be supported if one interpret the single horizontal row of Barga-taks coloured in green as an optical horizontal center line as Ensis have too. With a wild imagination one could see more the mentioned design break in main filed a planned and designed as a kind of “Elem”.
Nice “mind-game” one can play most often while thinking about Baluch textiles as we don’t know really much about the life of the Baluchi weavers.
So my question to you, it it a Baluch-Ensi?

In the present, more elongated carpet lie on the camel-colored main filed three vertical stems connected with Barga-tak motives. Towards the border the main field is separated from roughly drawn half Ashik motives.
The design of the main field changes after about a quarter. Also the interpretation of the Barga-tak motive is different is the lower main field part. Only here we find Barga-taks with tips of a triangle or arrow tips on the upper and lower leaves.
This rug is bordered from a bottom-left to top right-aligned, powerful, black-grounded Latch hook border.
Both ends are made from plane weave stripes in the base coulours of this rug but are reduced.
A goat hair wrapped Shirasi built the sides of this rug.
The rug is in fair condition.
