<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 2776885, member: 8267&quot;]Very nice rug. It would be described as a &quot;soumak&quot;, a technique that is heavier than a plain kilim and more time consuming to produce. This is one of the reasons they may command a higher price than other flatwoven rugs. The fringe looks like it is made of the warp threads, gathered and knotted, which is a traditional technique. I am not familiar with the term &quot;gulbarjista&quot;, and found only one reference to it (beyond the one [USER=301]@komokwa[/USER] found) in connection with a Baluchi rug.</p><p>You could try a search for &quot;Afghan soumaks&quot; to find comparative prices.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
