To compose adequately and cleverly about afghan rugs from the innate regions of Afghanistan and the previous focal Asian States of the USSR would require numerous long periods of experience and individual information on these floor covering making districts. Tragically, we don’t qualify in any of these regions, yet I do have various reference books composed by specialists in the field-and coming up next is an accumulation of perceptions from these volumes.
This proviso will just serve to help put the foundation of the floor covering making zones in focal Asia in some point of view, and to help distinguish a portion of the more conspicuous afghan mat structures and attributes of rugs from these regions.

The Baluchi clans for instance, reach out from Eastern Iran through Western Afghanistan and into Pakistan. Also, the Turkoman clans expand the whole way across the northern fringes.
Herat, in the Western piece of Afghanistan, has a past filled with more than 2,000 500 years and was once involved by Alexander the Great, and in this manner attacked by Mongols drove by Genghis Khan and afterward Tamerlan in the 13 th century. Herat was viewed as a major aspect of the Persian Empire, and the Persian impact in cover making in Herat is still observed.
