Ah, tribal rugs.  The designs of these rugs are as old as the peoples and cultures from which they originated and for which they are named.  If you want a hint of that ancient spirit or the essence of a primal camp fire to throw around the house- tribal is for you. 

Put these in every room of the house.  Hang old masks and set out statues made of wood and decorated with feathers.  Throw a few old bones on the coffee table and tuck an O'Keefe skull with flowers painting over one of these in your most intimate room.  By all means, beat a drum and howl at the moon.  You're a survivor.  Everyone is- of something.

Or just lay these out in the breakfast nook and imagine nomad women weaving while you dance through the breakfast dishes.  This type of rug adds warmth and steadiness to any room of the house or office!

Afarstar Online Store has the following selection of rugs named for tribes and woven by tribes people.  Click on each of the links to visit these sections:
