Ghazni rugs are well-known for their high quality and are named after the Ghazni region in Afghanistan, which is famous for its superior wool. This wool is often referred to as "Ghazni wool" and is prized for its durability and fine texture, making it an excellent material for rug making. Ghazni rugs typically feature intricate tribal patterns that are deeply rooted in the cultural traditions of the region. The designs often include geometric patterns, floral motifs, and highly detailed borders. The color palette usually consists of rich, deep colors such as dark reds, blues, and earthy tones, which are derived from natural dyes. These rugs are typically hand-knotted, a process that requires a high degree of skill and time, contributing to their durability and intricate design details. The high knot density in Ghazni rugs makes them particularly durable, suitable for high traffic areas. Ghazni rugs are appreciated worldwide for their craftsmanship and aesthetic appeal, often seen as both functional art pieces and valuable cultural symbols that reflect the rich heritage of Afghan rug weaving.
