This zig-zag Qashqai kilim is a beautiful example of tribal art from the nomadic Qashqai people of South Iran. With its rustic aesthetic and honest charm, it perfectly captures the essence of traditional weaving—both purposeful and deeply expressive.

The kilim features a bold zig-zag pattern, one of the most ancient and symbolic designs in tribal textiles, often representing movement, water, or the rhythm of life. Despite its simplicity, the pattern creates visual energy and reflects the weaver’s connection to nature and storytelling.

One of the most endearing elements of this piece is its broken borders at one end, a subtle but intentional variation that adds character and hints at the individuality of the weaver’s hand. The beautifully finished ends further highlight the craftsmanship and attention to detail, elevating the kilim’s overall appeal.

Woven with natural wool and dyes, this kilim is both lightweight and durable, making it an ideal choice for wall display, layering, or casual floor use in rustic, eclectic, or bohemian interiors.
