Fars فارس
Fars is the province of south-west Iran around Shiraz and home to its largest tribal weaving groups: the Qashqai and Khamseh confederacies and Luri groups such as the Boir Ahmad and Mamasani. Rugs from the province commonly have wool foundations and are often sold under the Shiraz name; both symmetric and asymmetric knots occur.
