Characteristics of the Origin (Sirjan)

Sirjan is a city located in southern Iran, belonging to Kerman Province. The kilims woven in Sirjan are called "Suzani" or "Silky Pich," and the city is registered with UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) as a kilim production center.
Sirjan kilims are characterized by a very intricate and sturdy weave. Nomadic women weave these kilims based on imagination without patterns, so their delicacy and intricacy are astonishing. They are soumak weave, with a surface that doesn't fray much, and often feature animal and geometric patterns.
Additionally, Sirjan kilims often have deep colors, with red dyes extracted from cherries, blue from eggplant skins, yellow from saffron, green from walnut leaves, and brown from walnut husks and tobacco. Due to these characteristics, Sirjan kilims are highly regarded worldwide and are cherished as beautiful crafts.

What is a Kilim?
