Why don't you come with me little girl, on a magic carpet ride
The art of carpet making is very essential to the Persian people. The art dates back to ancient times. Persian carpets are divided into three different groups: Farsh (anything bigger than 6 by 4 ft), Qualicheh ( 6 by 4 ft and smaller), and nomadic carpets known as Kilim (rough carpets). The first picture is a Qualicheh rug and the second one is a Kilim carpet.

Very interesting. Did you know that among some patterns used in Afghan fabric arts of the 1980's, machine guns appear because they were (and still are) so prevalent in the society.
