Handwoven Gabbeh "Desert Jewel Box" - Traditional Berber Design, Iran

This beautiful Gabbeh, carefully handwoven by nomads in the southwestern province of Fars, depicts a "garden blooming in the desert." Its compact size is a one-of-a-kind work of art that embodies the rich cultural background and artisanal skill of the craftsmen.

The central feature is the Tree of Life, with its vertical trunk painted in deep blue and turquoise and yellow and orange flowers blooming from it. This is a sacred motif that symbolizes fertility and bounty for nomads.

Decorative side panels: On the left and right sides, small animal and plant motifs are vividly woven in red and blue, like creatures living in a desert oasis. The high-density hand-woven technique allows even the smallest details to be clearly expressed.

The high density of the Rusha knot provides a comfortable feel on the feet and a beautiful finish.

The dyes extracted from locally collected plants, such as madder (red), indigo (blue), saffron (yellow), and pomegranate (orange), will last longer than the passage of time and will carve a history with the user.
