Many of these rugs are very similar to Kerman rugs, repeating the Kerman motifs, particularly that of the central medallion on a self-color field. The number of knots in square inch is much lower than Isfahan rugs and Nain rugs, but the pile is softer and longer. The quality of the wool which is from the local is fine and the natural dye makes the rug look lustrous.
