This classic Heriz rug features a bold octagonal medallion at its center, surrounded by intricate geometric motifs that create a striking visual anchor. The field displays a lively mix of reds, blues and ivory tones that work together to form the traditional Heriz pattern. The detailed border frames the design with complementary geometric elements, while the rich color palette brings warmth and character to any space.

Handcrafted in Afghanistan using traditional weaving techniques passed down through generations, this rug showcases the skill of local artisans who continue this ancient craft. Premium wool pile is knotted onto a sturdy cotton foundation at 60-70 knots per square inch, creating a dense weave that ensures both beauty and longevity. The natural materials and expert construction reflect the quality standards that have made Heriz designs prized for centuries.

At 2' 8" x 4' 0", this compact rug works beautifully as an accent piece in entryways, beside beds, or in front of reading chairs. The smaller format makes it ideal for layering or defining intimate seating areas within larger rooms. This size complements both traditional and contemporary interiors, particularly those seeking authentic Afghan rugs in the versatile 3 x 5 category.
