Characteristics of the Region (Sirjan)

Sirjan is a city located in southern Iran, part of Kerman Province. Kilims woven in Sirjan are called "Suzani" or "Silki Pitchi," and the region is registered by UNESCO as a kilim-producing area.
Sirjan kilims are characterized by their extremely fine and firm weave. Nomadic women weave them based on their imagination without a pattern, making their delicacy and precision astonishing. They are Soumak woven, with little fluff on the surface, and often feature animal and geometric patterns.
Furthermore, Sirjan kilims often have deep color tones; red uses cherry, blue uses eggplant peel, yellow uses saffron, green uses walnut leaves, and brown uses dyes extracted from walnut husks and tobacco. Due to these characteristics, Sirjan kilims are highly regarded worldwide and cherished as beautiful handicrafts.
