Origin Iran, format 220 × 320 cm — a Bijar made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 7.04 m² (7.2' × 10.5').

What it is made of

Size and placement

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 300,000–399,999 knots/m². Knotting at this density allows detailed drawing and soft transitions between colours.

On the colourway

Colour is recorded as red and orange. With traditionally dyed wool, small variations of tone within one field are normal.
