Baluch rugs are tribal rugs that are handwoven in eastern Iran by nomadic Baluchi tribes. The majority of them are produced in the province of Sistan and Baluchistan, which is located on the country's extreme south-east border. Baluch rugs are typically a rich burgundy colour with some very dark navy blue and beige accents. They frequently have an overall pattern, such as a tree of life, or a prayer rug design.
Tribal rugs, such as some Baluch weavings, may have an unusual design, coloration, or weave due to tribal migration from one area to another or intermarriage. In the antique market, Baluch rugs are collector items,especially Dokhtar-e Ghazi, Salarkhani, and Timuri rugs.
