This Qashqai Palas kilim was skillfully woven in two separate sections and then joined together, as the weaver had access only to a small loom. By combining dyed and undyed wool, the artist created striking vertical stripes. Unusually, the design is carried by the warp threads, whereas in most kilims, the weft threads form the pattern. To add a playful touch, the weaver also incorporated charming pom-poms.
Material: 100% hand-spun sheep wool
Size: 172×158 cms
Origin: Qashqai tribe, Iran
Date of weaving: 1970s
Palas: This kilim is a “palas”, a type of kilim woven to be used as a basis for domestic activities within the nomadic community (drying vegetables, making cheese, etc.). This vintage kilim was hand-woven by a nomadic or village woman, using her own wool spun and carded by hand.
