This quality Qashqai tribal rug remain true to their origins and has not been influenced by the trends and demands of the western rug markets. The salmon red background (often dyed from madder root a natural dye extracted locally) is cornered with navy blue and has one diamond in a vertical line down the centre.
The detail in the ground and the border work varies according to the sub-tribe and the mood of the weaver at the time of making. Lack of symmetry and sometimes quirky nuances often feature.
