Characteristics of the Origin (Sirjan)

Sirjan is a city located in southern Iran, part of Kerman Province. Kilims woven in Sirjan are known as "Suzani" or "Siriki Pitch" and their production region is registered with UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization).
Sirjan kilims are characterized by their extremely dense and sturdy weave. Nomadic women weave them based on imagination without a pattern, so their delicacy and intricacy are astonishing. They are soumak weaves, with little pile on the surface, and often feature animal and geometric patterns.
Sirjan kilims also tend to have deep colors; red comes from cherries, blue from eggplant skins, yellow from saffron, green from walnut leaves, and brown from walnut husks or tobacco. Due to these characteristics, Sirjan kilims are highly regarded worldwide and cherished as beautiful handicrafts.
