I am doing pretty well writing about carpets so I'll keep it up. This one is supposed to be an Iranian Shiraz Tribal and is 6.6 x 9.7 feet. It was pretty cheap - less than $400. I like the colors and it has all sorts of motifs in it. Can you see the elephants? There are some 4 legged critters. The birds are easy.You can really tell this one was hand made. Look at the left hand side and see the curvature? There are lots and lots of little mistakes in it too. The knot count is low and it is pretty rough but I like it...

It is great fun shopping for carpets! The pictures are beautiful, and I have enjoyed learning more about them. I understand that in Australia, the opal is the hot item to buy!
