Notes
This rug gives for the first glance hardly not the impression beeing made from Baluchi. The shining palette of light colours, dark ones are rarely used, and the diagonal striped main border made me considering about the influence from South Persian tribals on the weaver of this rug. A rug with a strong character which lost a bit from its charisma because of its overusing.
I guess this rug belongs to the same origin as MsB 054.

On a camel coloured main field lie in four vertical rows nine quadrats. Each of them contains a “Blossom around Kotshak”. The blossoms colouration is accidentally. So there are no additional geometrical structures to find in the main filed except of the vertical and horizontal lines from the quadrates.
Different couloured diagonal stripes in direction upper right to lower left, each containing a row of four diamonds, build the main border which is flanked from a small diagonal Gyjak and a Sarchalka as minor border.
All colours seams to be natural.
Partially goat hair wrapped Shirasis built the sides oft this rug and Kilim end are made as stripes in the base coulours of the rug.
