Many talisman and village weavers use representation and symbolism while never abandoning their connection with Mother Nature. This Bijar features repeating hexagons from the center medallion to outer field. Hexagons with their six sides represent a symbol of perfect union as hexagons are created from equal parts and the energetic emblem of soulful integration. A hexagon is the shape that most efficiently breaks flat space up into little units. Known as the Iron Rugs of Iran, Bijar rugs and carpets with their unique weave and double weft are prized for their sturdy construction and durability. Bijar carpet weavers pound the weft strands against the rows of knot repeatedly until the weave becomes extremely compact. The strong tension of the weft pulls the warp into two layers, giving the rug a certain stiffness and rigidity.
