With bright colors, bold motifs, and luxuriously-long pile, this Tree of Life rug produced by the nomadic weavers and mountain tribes of southern Iran typifies the shaggy pile and simple geometric style used by Persia’s most famous nomadic carpet makers. The sophisticated Tree of Life motif represents a sacred pomegranate tree laden with fruit. To the people of Persia and the Gabbeh, the pomegranate was an important dye plant and symbol of fertility and life.
