Gabbeh is a hand-woven pile rug of coarse quality characterized by its abstract designs. This type of rug is popular among the populations of the Zagros Mountains of Iran, including Kurdish, Luri and Qashqai people. Gabbeh carpets are much thicker and coarser than other Persian carpets; sometimes it is as much as one inch in depth. Gabbeh patterns are of a very basic kind with only a limited number of decorative, mostly rectangular objects resembling mainly animals. In Gabbeh usually bright colors are used. Gabbehs are made of natural, handspun wool yarn and all the colors are created with natural plant dye.
