or gabba carpets are a traditional variety of Persian carpet. Gabbeh is
known as gava in Kurdish and Luri and is also called khersak in
Bakhtiari, literally meaning a "bear's cub". A gabbeh is a hand-woven
pile rug of coarse quality and medium size (90 x 150 cm, 3 by 5 ft, or
larger) characterized by an abstract design that relies upon open fields
of color and a playfulness with geometry. This type of rug is popular
among the populations of the Zagros Mountains of Iran, including
Kurdish, Luri and Qashqai people.The gabbeh is usually crafted by
women.[ Gabbeh carpets are much thicker and coarser than other
Persian carpets; sometimes they can be as much as one inch or 2.5 cm in
depth. In fact, they are more a variety of kilim than carpet. The word
"gabbeh" comes from the Persian meaning raw, natural, uncut. This is a
rough and primitive carpet. Gabbeh patterns are of a very basic
kind with only a limited number of decorative, mostly rectangular
objects resembling mainly animals. In gabbeh usually bright colors, such
as yellow and red, are used. Although large fields of solid color are
used in gabbeh designs, the color is variegated (the color varies
throughout the rug, with the appearance of differently colored zones). Gabbehs
are made of natural, handspun wool yarn and all the colors are created
with natural plant dye. Due to its relative ease of production (less
precise pattern, small number of knots per square centimeter, etc.) a
gabbeh is one of the less expensive varieties of Persian carpet. In
the 1980s, after the Iranian artist Parviz Tanavoli had experimented
with vegetally dyed gabbehs, Gholamreza Zollanvari began producing the
rugs in larger quantities, employing Qashgayi and Luri weavers.
Increased production by the Zollanvari family, including their
introduction of new patterns, exerted considerable influence on European
