It is also noted that some of the Ersari rugs of Northern Afghanistan of Ersari tribes use a mixture of wool and goats hair. This Beshir rug feature all-over repeating patterns with images taken from nature, such as leaves, vines in deep coloration of Blue and Red, alongside with accent colors of Brown, Yellow and ivory. This rug has some re piling and it has retained its original Kilim on both ends.
