Birjand is a significant centre for the production of decorative formal design rugs. Birjand rugs often display styles of design based on other regions traditional patterns. The design as seen here is based on a design style as seen in tribal Ghashghai rugs from the Shiraz area of South West Persia. The pattern is defined by geometric drawing displaying stylised flora and sometimes fauna forms with motifs often totemic in appearance, as is the case here. The colours are from a traditional Birjand palette, the tones of which suggest that this rug was probably made around the date as indicated in the Era line.
