A Very Special Fragment!

The colors in this piece are very good. Please note the apple green. They can get that color because of the whiteness of their wool many others try that color and it comes out somewhat olive. When you are trying to learn the many tribes of Southwest Persia keep in mind that the Qashqai have the whitest wool of the highest quality. The Khamseh are master weavers and some of their work is very similar but the experts use wool color, feel and quality to pick out the Qashqai.

There is a debate in linguistic circles over whether Qashqai as a language is a distinct language or if it should be considered a dialect of Southern Azeribaijani. personally I have come to the conclusion that Qashqai must be a dialect of Southern Azeribaijani and that their weaving is a dialect of Southern Azeribaijani weaving.
