New Afghan Heriz-Style Round Rug — 7' Round

The Mina is hand-knotted in a 19th-century color-accurate Heriz style, a palette researched and matched to the deeper, more saturated tones typical of Heriz weaving before more commercial 20th-century dye shifts. Its bold, angular medallion drawing is a hallmark of the tradition; for more on Heriz motifs and related design vocabularies, see our guide to common rug motifs.

The wool is hand-spun Ghazni wool, sourced in Afghanistan and known for its soft hand and natural luster, colored with vegetable dyes for depth and warmth. Explore more Heriz-style pieces in our guide to the best rug styles for collectors.

At 7' round, the Mina suits round dining tables, foyers, and any space that calls for a circular anchor with classic, structured presence.

Heriz rugs originate from the villages surrounding the town of Heriz in northwest Persia, celebrated for bold, angular medallion drawing and a sturdy, durable weave. Afghan weavers, particularly those working with prized Ghazni wool, have long produced rugs in this style and others drawn from across the region's shared design heritage, valued for the wool's exceptional softness and sheen.

The Mina reflects this Afghan interpretation of the Heriz tradition, with a palette deliberately matched to 19th-century originals. Browse more pieces from this collection in our Heriz collection.

Mina means "love" in Pashto, one of Afghanistan's national languages.

The name reflects both the rug's Afghan origin and the care taken in its making—hand-spun wool, vegetable dyes, and a palette researched to honor a specific historical moment in Heriz weaving.

Mina captures the Heriz style at its most considered: bold in structure, warm in color, and made with evident devotion to the craft.
