MoriFeaturing the Afghan Mori design, this rug requires a highly skilled artisan with abundant technical knowledge, something that fits Babu Lal’s oeuvre perfectly. He taught Kalli Devi the pattern in a previous rug. But a little into the rug, they decided to change the design and try something else. However, they eventually settled on the mori as it was looking the best to them. The yellow colouration in between the patterns was Kalli Devi’s idea as Babu Lal continued to weave the Mori design impeccably. The result is a highly subtle and graceful rug that is a lesson in calculated, skilled design.
