  Thank you for your comment. Perhaps my clarification was not thorough enough:
  While in development, EOS Mexico requested several designs from Odabashian's traditional design collection. The design they found most useful for the purpose of of this design expiment was a rug woven in Pakistan. They chose the name because it is important to them to mention Pashtuns as invoking the relevance of the origin of the actual design.
  
  Respectfully, the designers are free to name their work as they see fit. And, furthermore, any person who uses this as a political instrument is not really sensitive enough to appreciate the transcendence of the piece in the first place.. And thus, their opinion relevan to designs lacks credibility.

  But tribal Pashtun peoples do not have any tradition of rug making. There is present amongst that area and amongst those people refugees from Afghanistan. They are the ones that practice the rug making. They spread all over Pakistan due ot the war in Afghanistan.
  
  You must make sure that you are actually naming the rug correctly, because you can be sure that it will turn into a political instrument at one point or another.
  
  Wish you all the best.

  Sima = in spanish, it means a depression or concave surface that appears on the ground.
  Pashtun= tribal people of Pakistan where the design of the original rug came from. The un-distorted image used by Eos was of a rug we have in inventory that was woven near Lahore.
