Goltogh rugs are hand-woven Persian tribal carpets made in the Kurdish nomadic districts of Northeastern Iran. The bright colors and geometric shapes are typical of tribal weaving from this area of Iran. A rug such as this takes a nomadic woman, sometimes working with her daughter, several months of concentrated weaving to complete on a crude loom on the ground outside the family tent. Most rugs woven by tribal people are intended for their own use as floor coverings or sleeping mats. Sometimes, they are put away as security for a day when it may be necessary to trade them in at nearby villages or cities for more practical goods. A true and timeless treasure, this beautiful rug will last a very long time and it's elegance will only increase with age.[citation needed]
