2'8" x 10'4" New Afghan Gabbeh Floor Runner Oriental Rug - Hand Made - Veg Dye This beautiful rug is a brand new 2'8" x 10'4" Afghan Gabbeh floor runner. This hand made Gabbeh is made using vegetable dye and is made with a 100% wool. Woven for centuries Gabbeh are tribal rugs woven in the south central Zagros mountain range and their plains. The word Gabbeh means something raw or natural, uncut or "in the rough". Gabbeh are the world's best-known coarsely woven Iranian tribal rugs. Traditionally, the knotting and weaving of nomadic carpets are a woman's domain and area of expertise. True nomadic rugs such as the Gabbeh are almost exclusively knotted for personal use, and often the woman's spirit and natural artisanship are quite apparent in these personal interpretations of their life in art.
