Tribal rug قالی عشایری
A tribal rug belongs to the weaving traditions of a tribal community. Its weavers may be nomadic, semi-nomadic or settled. Nomadic describes a way of life, so the two terms are not exact synonyms. Rugs, bags, covers and animal trappings can belong to the same weaving tradition.
