This Qashqai piece is your chance to do exactly that! The wool pile is mid-length and soft, and the colours are typical of what you might expect from these weavers using natural dyes.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Qashqai tribal confederation comprises five major tribes: the Dareshuri, Farsimadan, Sheshboluki, Amaleh, and Kashkuli. Though these versions differ, we believe that the arrival of the Qashqai Tribes coincided with Genghis Khan's conquests in the thirteenth century. Twice a year, these nomadic people wander between the Zagros mountains and the Gulf, constantly looking for new grazing for their animals. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca title=\"Persian blog from Jennings team\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jenningsrugs.live\/blogs\/news\/qashqai-tribes-of-south-western-iran\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #0000ff;\"\u003eQashqai\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e designs are not written or drawn but passed on to daughters who watch their mothers from an early age and gradually develop their skills in a family environment. The women will make these pieces with two or even three generations involved. The piece is knotted by the weavers sitting cross-legged on the floor and the carpet while they craft their art. Meanwhile, the men and boys will defend and protect the animals. In addition to the traditional lozenge-shaped ground with medallions in the centre repeated in the corners, they will often include many birds, animals, flowers, and trees that they see around them.
