The Gabbeh runner shows the Qashqai traditional three-diamond “signature” design in a field that is formed by the typical design of animal forms and plant forms that are around the tribesmen. The rug has a wool pile on a wool foundation with natural vegetable dyes and has a very tight weave. It has a gorgeous border with a design of animal forms. These features bring a sense of nature and what they see every day into the design of the rug. The Qashqai tribes have kept their tradition of moving to highland pastures in the summer where the weather is cooler and lowland fields in the winter when the weather is warmer.
