Gabbeh rugs are made by Gashgai and Lori nomads in the province of Fars, around Shiraz. The rugs were originally used for sleeping, as they have a higher pile for warmth. The uneven, hand-spun lanolin-rich wool gives Gabbeh a typical grainy surface structure. Many rugs have natural cream, brown and grey tones. The red, yellow, green and blue colors are made with vegetable dyes. Most Gabbehs are plain; if motifs are shown, they are stylized patterns from the everyday life of the nomads. Goats, camels, dogs, plants and people are common motifs.
