An Afghan rug or Afghan carpet is a textile floor or wall covering similar in style to a Persian rug. An Afghan rug may be one of a few different styles of rug, but most commonly, the term refers to either the Bukhara print or the more contemporary Afghan war rug. Most Afghan rugs are referred to by their region of origin or by the name of the tribe that makes them. An Afghan rug does not necessarily come from Afghanistan — some styles come from regions of neighboring Uzbekistan, and other Middle Eastern countries have adopted the Afghani style in their own rug making. There are three major types of Afghan rug, based on region or tribal affiliation: Afghan Turkestan, Baluch, and Herati.
