After tying each row of knots, Bidjar weavers dampened the weft threads and pounded them tightly into the loom with a heavy comb. As the wefts dried, they contracted, creating an exceptionally dense foundation. That is why Bidjars earned the nickname “the iron rugs of Persia.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\"\u003eThe field is arranged in horizontal bands filled with hooked medallions, serrated leaves, diamonds, and strongly angular floral forms.
