A flat-woven, tapestry-like rug or textile traditionally made without pile (the soft surface found on many carpets). Unlike knotted carpets, kilims are woven by interlacing warp and weft threads tightly to create a flat finish.

A Mishwani/Mashwani kilim refers to a kilim associated with the Mashwani (also spelled Mishwani, Mushwani) tribal group, particularly in Afghanistan and neighboring regions. These are handwoven tribal textiles with geometric designs, often combining kilim techniques and sometimes pile weaving.

Afghanistan and its border regions have been a center of rug and kilim weaving for centuries, involving Turkmen, Uzbek, Baluchi, Pashtun, and other communities. These textiles reflect centuries-old techniques and local artistic vocabulary.

The Mashwani are a tribal people originally of Arab descent who became culturally part of the Pashtun world in Afghanistan and Iran. Their name appears in historical records as part of tribal genealogies.
