The small village of kerdar in iran, is the only place where the maslaghan are knotted and we recognize them, thanks to this large diamond-shaped field with zigzag sides that take up the corners (corners) extending along the edges, and joining in the length of the carpet, this creating a completely unusual décor. Our carpet is largely strewn with flowers: roses, carnations, and daisies (slightly resembling minakhani, veramin carpet motif). The four sninters stand out on a blue background, beautiful flowering rows taking all the shades of the carpet. The medallion of a beautiful plain old rose completely contrasts with the rest of the carpet and gives it an intense decorative side. A maslaghan of great beauty.
