A wool pile of asymmetric knots on a cotton foundation. The burgundy abrashed field shows an allover pattern of offset columns of hooked diamonds, clearly inspired by Baluchi rugs. The successful interpretation continues with the main light brown “Crab” border.  Baluchi-inspired Agras were especially popular in the 1920’s and were woven to fill a size vacuum for larger Baluchi rugs.
