Arab nomads of Fars Province, Iran, are descended from certain Arab tribes of Najd, Yammaneh and Omman who migrated in the 7th and 8th centuries following the Arab contest (640 A.D.) and the advent of Islam. They speak a corruption of Arabic and Persian.
Althoug Arab nomad piled production encompasses a great and astonishing variety of designs, with field patterns much more varied than other tribes of Fars, the Arab weaver´s adherance to a generally dark and sober palette has denied them the artistic recognition they deserve.
This little rug is a superb example of an Arab nomad´s mastery in the art of weaving. The composition, colours and design make it a masterpiece. The wide border is filled with large vegetable motifs, and the central field has the Herati pattern. All natural dyes, low even pile.
