The piece in short

A Shiraz from Iran, measuring 173 × 250 cm. That is roughly 4.33 m² of floor, about 5.7' × 8.2'. Shiraz rugs come from a nomadic weaving tradition.

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. Construction method: hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 7-10mm.

Format and use

On the knot count

How it reads

Colour is recorded as red and orange. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
