Qashqai weavers have a saying that their home is where they are with their rug and that they are always at home with their rug. Qashqai Shiraz rugs are known for their geometric designs, often incorporating rhombuses, hexagons and rectangles. These designs can include stylized animals, birds, people and plants. They often feature a central medallion surrounded by repeating geometric patterns. Other common designs include stylized trees, flowers and shrubs, which can symbolize nature, life and fertility.
