The villagers made a certain traditional kind of rug, on handlooms, with a certain limited range of colors from vegetable dyes they made themselves – a blood-red, a dark blue with a hint of green, a sandy yellow, a charcoal black. There were a few traditional designs, which hardly varied: a branching tree, with fruit like pomegranates, and roosting birds, somewhat like pheasants, or a more abstract geometrical design, with discs of one color threaded on a crisscrossing web of another on the ground of a third. The rugs were on the whole made by the women, who also cooked and washed.
