Characteristics of the Origin (Sirjan)

Sirjan is a city located in southern Iran, belonging to Kerman Province. Kilims woven in Sirjan are known as "Suzani" or "Silky Pich," and the region is registered as a kilim producing area by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization).
Sirjan kilims are characterized by their extremely dense and sturdy weave. Nomad women weave them based on their imagination without a pattern, making their intricacy and precision astonishing. They are Soumak woven, with a surface that is not very fuzzy, and frequently feature animal and geometric patterns.
Furthermore, Sirjan kilims often have deep colors, with cherry red, eggplant skin blue, saffron yellow, walnut leaf green, and walnut husk or tobacco-derived dyes for brown. Due to these characteristics, Sirjan kilims are highly regarded worldwide and cherished as beautiful handicrafts.
