Depending on the angle from which you look at the carpet, you can perceive the colors differently, in fact on one side they will be darker while on the other they will be lighter. This is due to the pile and counter-pile of the carpet.

With its approximately 70,000 inhabitants, located at 2,000 meters above sea level, Kerman is the capital of the province of the same name that extends over a desert and steppe territory. The city itself and about half a hundred villages and oases of varying size live and have lived for centuries knotting carpets. To accommodate the taste of Western customers, the most recent examples remain on delicate pastel tones, giving preference to green, pinkish red, ivory or blue-grey. The old Kermans instead have strong and bright colors usually on shades of red or blue-red. From banded designs to the most varied all-over motifs, Kerman carpets can have many representations, from simple floral decorations to real hunting scenes. The warp and weft are in cotton, the pile instead in wool has a medium-high shave. Often linked to the name Kerman follows the denomination "Laver" which derives from a phonetic deformation of Ravar, a knotting center northeast of Kerman. From here the finest and most valuable carpets were born. Often linked to the name Nain follows the denomination "La" which in Persian means layers, or the number of threads that make up a warp, used for knotting the carpet. The fewer "layers" therefore "la" there are, the more valuable the carpet is, for example a Nain 4La will be finer than a Nain 6La or 9La. Often these carpets, being true works of art, are signed in the frame at the top by the master knotter who made them, among the most famous is the master Habibian, who became famous for the very high quality of his carpets especially suitable for an elite of connoisseurs. In recent years a production has also developed that has nothing to do with the Nain, the nain tabas belong to this category.
