The designs are heavily influenced by the motifs found in ceramic works and historical buildings. This rug showcases floral designs, gardens full of animals, and intricate medallions. The rug-making process involves cleaning, washing, and dyeing the wool before weaving it. Due to the handmade nature of these rugs, the size may vary by up to 3-4 inches from the advertised size. Regular vacuuming and professional cleaning will help maintain the rug's longevity. The majority of the weavers are women who live in the villages of Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, and India. Purchasing this rug helps create jobs for female weavers who otherwise wouldn't have such opportunities. The local community also benefits from rug weaving as the farmers profit from wool sales and the artisans create natural and vegetable dyes for the weavers. Please note that due to the handcrafted nature of this rug, slight variations in color, size, and design may occur. Color discrepancies may also occur between the product and your computer screen.
