Omid A lovely tribal flat weaveA very unique carpet. The crimson in the field and the light blue in the border is a common feature of rugs from northwestern Persian. However this carpet is know as a 'mental weave'. Meaning it was woven without a pre determined pattern and the weaver relied on their own imagination and personal taste. With mental weave rugs its hard to say if the motifs carry a specific meaning. However there are refrances to 'tosbaqa' (tortoise) and 'qurbaqa'
