Noah's Spaceship

Here and there

Anyway, there are animals everywhere!
They range in size from small to large. Their backs are shaped like mountains, making them look like camels, but their necks are unusually long.
They look like alpacas and have a common mark on their backs that may be a sign of their owner. Some animals have long necks but flat backs, and we also found some that look like small dogs.

Friendly Animals

Of all the animals, my favorites are these three facing each other in a row of spaceships (?).

How cute to see a baby on its back! They could be parent and child, or maybe friends. You can tell they're close friends, but surprisingly, in this case, the baby on top is a bit strong-willed, and the older one on the bottom is calm. But they both feel comfortable in this relationship, and they're good friends after all. It reminded me of a scene I saw on an animal TV show some time ago.

Fascinating colors

The design isn't the only thing that makes this rug so appealing.
The overall desert-themed brown color scheme and faded gray create a lovely atmosphere. I have a weakness for "desert" and "camels," so this was a hit with me!
There are black and gray animals, and they're symmetrical. There seems to be a pattern, but when you go to the left, you're pleasantly surprised. Yes, freedom is good, I told myself.
As I continued to look at it, I began to feel like I was looking at vintage furniture that had aged well. It has depth and luster...it's mesmerizing.

Wild

In addition to the design and color, there's one more thing I'd like to mention: the wildness of this rug.

The pile of the rug is made from sheep's wool, but the ears on the left and right sides of the rug are made from goat's hair. These are the black parts on the far right.

When you touch it with your hand, it feels different from sheep's wool, hard and a little crunchy. It's not so prickly that it hurts, but you can feel its strength!

This is often seen in Baluchi rugs, and it is said that the edges are sewn together with goat hair to keep snakes away, as snakes dislike the prickly feeling. This is also wild, and I love this goat hair.

If you were to lay this rug...

If I were to use this rug, I would use it under the dining table.

Baluchi rugs are often long and narrow due to the narrow width of the looms, but if you take advantage of this size and place it between the legs of a table, you can feel the rug firmly under your feet when sitting in a two-seater chair.

If it's a large table, I think it would be fun to put two rugs side by side on it.

There may be a fight over seats, with people saying, "I like this rug, so I want to sit here!", but it can also be exciting to each choose their favorite rug for their feet and place half of it under the table.

Once you try it out around the house, you're sure to find a place where it fits perfectly, so we hope you'll try placing it in your favorite place.
