The Qashqai tribes who weave these beautiful rugs are particularly well known for their use of vibrant colours, achieved through high quality, hand spun and often natural dyed yarns. The designs are well executed showing Caucasian influence, with the "chain medallions" frequently encountered, along with combs, stylised birds and animals. They are woven on a horizontal ground loom, with a foundation of ivory woollen warps and characteristically red dyed wefts, having edges over wrapped in different coloured yarns.
