As I work at a carpet show I see carpets all the time. Persian ones. Therefore I decided it would be fun to make some samples for you also. A Ziegler (from Afghanistan/Pakistan) and the iron carpet, Bidjar (from Bidjar in Iran).



The carpets are both made from the in-game mesh called Sung-Gyu, oriental carpet. Size: 2x3.

From Wikipedia:
"The Persian carpet is an essential part of Persian art and culture. Carpet-weaving is undoubtedly one of the most distinguished manifestations of Persian culture and art, and dates back to ancient Persia. In 2008, Iran’s exports of hand-woven carpets was $420 million or 30% of the world's market.
There is an estimated population of 1.2 million weavers in Iran producing carpets for domestic markets and international export.
