Description

The Persian carpet is an essential part of persian art and culture. Carpet-weaving is undoubtedly one of the most distinguished manifestations of Persian culture and art, and dates back to ancient Persia.Persian carpets can be divided into three groups; Farsh / 'Q?lii' (sized anything greater than 6x4 feet), Q?licheh (meaning rug, sized 6x4 feet and smaller), and nomadic carpets known as kilim, (including Zilu, meaning rough carpet).
The interesting point attracted me was the young man, it means some young people are still interested in some traditional careers.We can see many of them in Bazaars in Isfahan Province and Hamedan Province.
Location:
Toyserkan is a city located about 100 km south of Hamedan, at west of Iran, 2007.11.06
