Woven in the traditional flatweave technique, the design is composed entirely of undulating stripes that ripple across the surface, creating a sense of movement and rhythm.

The palette is vibrant and layered, blending saturated coral red, turquoise, deep indigo, violet, ivory, golden beige, charcoal, and touches of black. The alternating bands vary in width and texture, some appearing finely striated while others are more boldly woven, giving the composition depth and visual texture. Subtle shifts in tone within each stripe reflect the handwoven character and spontaneous creativity of Persian tribal weaving traditions.

Rather than relying on a central medallion or formal structure, the rug’s beauty lies in its organic flow and dynamic color interplay. The continuous wave-like bands evoke a painterly quality, offering both graphic energy and warmth within a compact format.

Full of character and expressive charm, this kilim works beautifully as a decorative accent, small area rug, or wall textile, bringing authentic mid-century Persian craftsmanship and vibrant personality to any interior.
