The designs are geometric, with TURKESTAN tribal influences. The rugs have a medallion or allover pattern surrounded by simple mouif clements in the background. Some designs have one, two, or three pendant-shaped medallions on an Open Field. In the allover style, repeated geometric lower bouquets are woven in the background. Sirjan rugs have seycral cqually wide borders. Al times, the main border is slightly wider and is recognizable for having a dillcrent color background from the field. The border motifs are geometric, with lower heads, leaves, and vincs. Occasionally diagonal stripe patterns are made for one of the border designs.<br>
By the late twentieth century, some of the weavers converted from traditional Afshar designs to make KERMAN-style carpets and rugs.<ref>Moheban, 2015, p.539</ref><br>

The Persian ([[Asymmetric Knot|asymmetric]]) knot is used. The rug formats range from small bag face rugs to approximately cight sect by five fect. Flatweaves are also found in the trade in dimensions of small tribal pieces to approximately right feet by five fect.
