This nomadic handwoven carpet, with an age of approximately 30 years, is a vivid reflection of the carpet-weaving traditions of Fars Province. Measuring 278 × 183 cm with an area of 5.09 m², it falls into the five-meter category and is a well-suited choice for warm, intimate interiors. Its rectangular structure with a 30-raj weave shows a balanced relationship between strength and fineness. The multi-medallion composition with geometric motifs creates a steady yet dynamic rhythm across the field, guiding the eye gradually throughout the carpet. Set on a lacquer-red ground, the piece exemplifies the fully geometric, symbolic visual language of Shiraz weavers. The field is filled with vegetal motifs, all rendered in angular, geometric forms—flowers and plants dispersed rhythmically to create a lively, narrative atmosphere. The border is inspired by the Doustkami pattern, characterized by the repetition of two crenellated leaves and a chalice. The interplay of dark and light colors with broken lines enhances the dynamic rhythm, marking this carpet as a strong example of symbolic, mental, and non-naturalistic expression in Fars nomadic weaving. The lacquer ground conveys energy and authenticity, while the cream border offers a calm, pleasing contrast. Wool used in the pile and warp, together with a cotton weft, provides a well-set, durable structure; the approximate weight of 16 kg clearly reflects the quality of this nomadic piece.
