Carpets
Carpet weaving is not a recreational task but a main occupation to fetch income for the inhabitants. Cushions, carpets, felt mats, prayers clothes, and beautiful Turkaman rugs woven in this region are sent to other cities within Iran and also exported throughout the world (See Persian rugs). The Turkman cushions and carpets are famous for their ancient patterns. Felt mat, Jajim (coarse mat), and Palas (coarse woolen clothe), woven by the artful Turkmans, are other objects in the region which reflect their tradition and craft.

Famous quotes containing the word carpets:
“The heart of Paris is like nothing so much as the unending interior of a house. Buildings become furniture, courtyards become carpets and arrases, the streets are like galleries, the boulevards conservatories. It is a house, one or two centuries old, rich, bourgeois, distinguished. The only way of going out, or shutting the door behind you, is to leave the centre.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
