Anotations

Scope note:

Broadly, rugs woven in Iran, in brightly coloured patterns of animals, plants, figures, or geometric shapes. The history of Persian carpet manufacture is divisive, and many assumptions are made without historical evidence. Scholars disagree on many aspects of their production. Particular styles are most often identified by the region in which they were made.
