A deep-red Afghan Turkmen rug named after Khal Mohammad, an Ersari master dyer of Kunduz, rather than after a place or a tribe.
Khal Mohammadi is a deep-red Afghan Turkmen rug named not after a place or a tribe but after a person: Khal Mohammad, an Ersari master dyer of Kunduz who, in the mid-twentieth century, fixed the dense, dark red the type is known for.
It is woven in the Ersari tradition, with repeating güls on a saturated madder ground, in hand-spun Karakul wool. The name is a rare case of a rug carrying the memory of the individual who shaped its color.
