This rare Baluch tent was purchased in 1977 outside the city of Herat, Afghanistan. Included with the tent are over 80 items ranging from looms to cooking utensils. The approximate age of this tent is 60-70 years old. Goathair was the material of choice for weaving the outer shell because of its strong resistance to the weather. The inner framework consists of two long arced pieces of wood to support the middle and various shorter pieces fot the front and back openings.

Recently the complete tent was on exhibition in the Allen Memorial Art Museum at Oberlin College, Ohio. This tent and its pieces would be an excellent artifact for any museum's or serious collector's central asian collection.
