Persian Shiraz (zy0662)

Shiraz gives its name to rugs, which are woven in the small villages and towns,

which surround it, brought into the city to be sold. They are also made by some

of the local tribes, such as the Qashquai, whose best work is moreover more

finely and tightly knotted than those of Shiraz. Shiraz rugs are characterised

by a deep wine-red colour. This rug is a unique piece tribal art.
