This carpet was woven by the Baluchis, a nomadic people occupying an area bounded by Bandar Abbas and Bam in the west, the Punjab and the Kirthar range of mountains in the east, the Arabian Sea to the south and areas of the Afghan province Chakhansur (Nimroz) and the Iranian province of Seistan. This carpet is thought to have been made in Seistan.
