<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 10342719, member: 8267&quot;]The pattern looks similar to rugs being made by Baluchi weavers in Afghanistan, and sold by discount companies such as ECarpetGallery, Wayfair and Bed Bath and Beyond. They refer to them as &quot;Teimani&quot;. (This seems to be a trade name, not a particular tribal name.) Prices vary according to the size of the rug.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]520374[/ATTACH]</p><p><a href="https://www.ecarpetgallery.com/us_en/ivory-3x5-teimani-area-rugs-417422" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ecarpetgallery.com/us_en/ivory-3x5-teimani-area-rugs-417422" rel="nofollow">https://www.ecarpetgallery.com/us_en/ivory-3x5-teimani-area-rugs-417422</a></p><p><br /></p><p>This one, with the hands similar to yours, is from an auction. (Google identifies the language as Croatian or Bosnian.)
