Songhore is a small village in western Iran at the heart of Kurdistan. The region sits high on the rugged mountains of Persia and life here can be very harsh. The semi-nomadic tribes men and women who weave these rugs, do so in an attempt to follow a tradition of textile art that has been part of their culture for thousands of years. The rugs made in and around Songhore all have similarities in design and quality to most other Kurdish rugs. The colors are bright yet earthy, and the designs are simple and geometric, yet fun and exciting. The quality in these rugs is fairly good and the sizes are usually around five by eight feet. The main colors include taupe, camel, red, and navy blue. These rugs are very special to their weavers and they always bring a special warmth to their new homes.[citation needed]
