This rug is knotted in the province of Fars in southwest of Iran, with the city of Shiraz as the capital province. The rug was originally knotted by nomads that lived in the area, but nowadays most of them are resident in smaller villages in the province. The pattern in the rug is typical for nomads with motifs of simple geometric figures and often with one or more diamond medallion in the center. The bottom colour is often red and the motifs in different blue nuances. There are also flowers and bird motifs in some Shiraz rugs. These rugs are very durable with thick pile of wool.
