This half-meter rural handwoven rug is a notable example of the weavings from the Bijar Afshar region, recognized for the authenticity of its Bijar design and its solid construction. Woven in the size of 99 × 75 cm with an approximate area of 0.75 square meters, it is a suitable choice for small spaces, beside furniture, entryways, or collectible displays. A knot density of 50 rows indicates a precise and orderly weave, which plays an important role in its high durability and the clarity of the motifs. The wool pile combined with cotton warp and weft creates a balanced combination of softness, strength, and longevity. The Lachak-Toranj design with the Herati (Mahi) motif, set on a red ground with a cream border, gives the rug an authentic and classic character rooted in the long-standing weaving traditions of the region. An approximate weight of 3 kilograms and chemical dyeing make this rug a practical yet valuable option for everyday or decorative use.
