The Zagros mountain landscape, where the Qashqai nomads live, looks similar to areas of the Southwest like New Mexico. So in a way it's no wonder that now and then we see rugs like this one, with a boldly Southwestern color palette. Red-brown like the mountains, contrasted with deep sky blue: these are the colors of home for many Americans, as for the nomads who make Gabbehs.
