Striped pieces like this were often woven from several long, narrow pieces into one, due to the fact that the weavers had to work in smaller spaces. The usage of red, green, orange, and blue tones create a striking visual contrast. Its distinct geometric patterns and vibrant color palette make it a unique and visually captivating piece of Afghan heritage.
