Baluch (West Turkestani historic textile styles, West Turkestani historic styles, ... Styles and Periods (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Style of rugs woven by the Baloch people living in Afghanistan and eastern Iran. The patterns often incorporate repeated motifs diagonally arranged across the field, or a maze of intricate latch-hooked forms. Prayer rugs may contain a field filled with the leaves and stems of a stylized tree, with geometric small plants in the spandrels. Baluchi rugs frequently have long aprons at both ends, decorated with stripes and bands of brocading. The color scheme of older rugs is a dark combination of reds, browns, blues, tans, and white. The fibers are typically wool, goat and camel hair, cotton for whites, and in some cases a few knots of silk. The knotting is customarily asymmetrical. The rugs vary greatly in quality, the better ones usually being ascribed to the Khorasan province of Iran. Baluchi rugs are frequently classed with the products of the Turkmen but show little relationship to them. |

Chinese (traditional) ..... 居住於阿富汗及伊朗東部的俾路支人使用的一種地毯編織風格。其樣式通常是以重複的斜交紋飾構成整個毯面,或是一片複雜交織的手勾紗圖樣。禮拜毯可能織有樣式化樹木的葉子和枝幹圖飾,框格內並有小型幾何形植物圖樣。俾路支地毯兩端的外圍部分通常較長,並以錦緞繩、帶作為裝飾。較古老的地毯配色為深沉的紅、褐、藍、棕褐、白搭配。纖維一般採用羊毛、山羊毛、駱駝毛、白色棉絮,也有出現少量的絲織結的例子。傳統的織結多為非對稱形式。地毯品質的優劣差異很大,伊朗呼羅珊省(Khorasan)所產的地毯通常被視為品質較佳者。俾路支地毯經常被歸類為土庫曼的產品,但兩者並無明顯關聯。 |
