Handwoven Gabbeh Colorful Mosaic ~The Colorful Poem of Nomads~

This artistic Gabbeh, which could be called a "kaleidoscope of weaving," was created by skilled weavers from the Bakhtiari people, a nomadic tribe in southwestern Iran, using traditional hand-weaving techniques and natural plant dyeing techniques. The 35 colorful panels spread out in the central field, surrounded by a deep green border, exude a beauty like a colorful tapestry woven with fragments of the nomadic people's memories.

Product Features

Unique mosaic design

The 35 small panels, arranged in a 7x5 grid, are each an independent microcosm. Based on four colors—bright blue, warm orange, passionate red, and pure white—each panel is intricately woven with images of animals, plants, and geometric patterns rooted in the lives of nomads.

A treasure trove of traditional motifs

Animal motifs: adorable depictions of sheep, goats, camels, deer, birds, etc.

Botanical motifs: symbolic depictions of vibrant flowers, leaves, and trees

Geometric patterns: ancient sacred shapes such as diamonds, crosses, and stars

Symbols of life: looms, tools, dwellings, and other memories of nomadic life

The rich colors used are all natural plant dyes. The deep hues produced by dozens of plants, such as madder (red), indigo (blue), pomegranate (yellow), and walnut (brown), become more beautiful with use and continue to be loved by generations.

Top quality sheep and wool

Made from high-quality wool collected from sheep raised in the harsh natural environment of the Iranian plateau, this jacket has natural water repellency and excellent heat retention, as well as moderate elasticity for durability that can withstand long-term use.
