Origin & Tradition
This rug comes from Maymana, Afghanistan, a region known for its deep connection to traditional Afghan and Turkmen-influenced weaving. The Ersari design reflects a proud tribal heritage, especially through its repeated Gul motifs—symbols often associated with identity, craftsmanship, and continuity in Turkmen rug culture. Each piece is made by hand, giving it an individuality that cannot be replicated by machine-made rugs.
