Abstract
It has been found out that the Baluchi carpets were found in the markets of the city of Mashhad of Iran which were specialized for marketing the Baluchi carpets and that the Baluchi carpets are sold in Afghanistan. It has been also found out that the common colours of the Baluchi carpets are red, brown, dark and blue. They are made of wool and sometimes a mixture of wool and goat hair whereas modern carpets are made of cotton. The Baluchi carpets are characterized by different types of geometric and plant decorations executed by a skillful engineering manner as mentioned in this research. The most important decorative element exclusive to the Baluchi carpets, unlike any other carpets, is the shape of the two cross-shaped rectangles which form a broad cross-shaped form, from which four small hooks, like anchors, emerge in each of the four sides. The Baluchi carpets have a type of decorative elements derived from the Turkmen carpets (the rose of the eagle). The outer edge of the carpet continues to be woven without a tent for a distance ranging from ten to fifteen centimeters in different colours or in the original colour of cotton or wool and it is almost light brown. It is a design copied from the Turkmen carpets, too.
