All the carpets in this group are decorated with repeated linear elements of vertical, horizontal, and diagonal lines, usually woven by nomadic tribes using particular traditional and cultural symbols. Most of the elements are symbols of something special or sacred, cherished by that tribe for hundreds of generations.
Geometric patterns can be seen in all three layouts
of
all-over,
medallion,
and
one-sided. Because they're made by hand in the most primal conditions, tribal pieces usually don't have full symmetry or color consistency, thus giving them a 'primal' quality.
Some cities and villages that weave beautiful geometric rugs include Heriz, Hamadan, and Shiraz. |
