Bakhitar NE 22/252 310 x 207cm

The Bakhtyari nomads live in the south west of Iran between Isfahan and Malyar. The wool is thick on sturdy warp of cotton. This makes the carpets heavy but very hardwearing. Many Bakhtyaris, particularly those from Shalem Zar, have the “garden motif” with a pattern is squares with animals, trees, and flowers.
