97 × 94 cm / Wool / Qashqai

Qashqai

The Qashqai people are a nomadic group representing Iran in the southwestern Fars province, primarily composed of Turkic ethnicities with roots in Central Asia and Azerbaijan. Even in modern times, there are still people who do not settle, and continue to live a nomadic lifestyle. They move back and forth across the Zagros Mountains, spending winters in the pastures near the Persian Gulf and summers in tents at the cooler foothills of the Zagros. Spinning thread and weaving carpets are tasks typically performed by women, while men are responsible for herding sheep and shearing wool. The carpets they produce feature intricate abstractions of divine creatures and plants that have been passed down since ancient times, as well as bold, large representations of lions and other motifs in a coarse weave known as Gabbeh. Additionally, they are famous for other woven textiles such as kilims, jajims, and sumaks, which are not pile-woven. These textiles have been used as traditional items such as horse-cover, saddle bags, bags, salt bags, and bedding.
