Gabbeh (گبه‎)is a 1996 Iranian film directed by Mohsen Makhmalbaf


Hear the Tavern-keeper who counsels you: 
"With wine, with red wine your prayer carpet dye!" 
The first ghazal of Hafiz (1320-1388)

“The heart is a
The thousand-stringed instrument

That can only be tuned with
Love.”
  Hafez, The Gift


Hollywood And Persian Carpet -
Poem by Nassy Fesharaki


Hollywood and Persian Carpet

Like a Persian carpet
I’m flat, colorful; well-knotted 
Shallow is my vast pool 
But each thread, well-spun, well-colored 
I take role in design; fantastic 
To the eye and the life; nothing but benefit

I therefore isolate
No Judgment on the height or the depth
I am not tall tree; fruitless
No comment and no change
(I am not Chameleon) 
Hollywood has stars 
(The actors, directors) 
So do gyms, rinks and fields 

Jackson-five and Simpson
Young Justin or Whitney Huston
I saw Michael Jackson
Then Roman Polanski 
Woody Allen is new; game of sex

This valley of the dolls
Is not mine
Not with am; not against
My wide pool is carpet
Deep in me and humble
Connections is zero
Relation is narrow; too shallow

No cry when they come
No tear when they leave or they die
Let them come, let them go
As do the seasons; days and nights
Let them go high or fall 

Who are they why should care? 

Nassy Fesharaki (Nassi Fesharaki is iranian poet who lives in Canada)
As he said: "Born in a small village surrounded by many mountains I should have become a farmer or a shepherd. Destiny took me out to make me a man of travel and languages, living in Canada with international friends."


Gabbeh (Persian: گبه‎) carpets are a traditional variety of Persian carpet. Gabbeh is known as Gava in Kurdish and Luri and is also called Khersak (خرسک) in Bakhtiari. A Gabbeh is a hand-woven pile rug of coarse quality and medium size (90 x 150 cm or larger) characterized by an abstract design that relies upon open fields of color and a playfulness with geometry. This type of rug is popular among the populations of the Zagros Mountains of Iran, including Kurdish, Luri and Qashqai people. The Gabbeh is usually crafted by women.

Gabbeh carpets are much thicker and coarser than other Persian carpets; sometimes it is as much as one inch in depth. In fact, it is more of a variety of kilim than carpet. The word 'Gabbeh' comes from the Persian meaning raw, natural, uncut. This is a rough and primitive carpet.

Gabbeh patterns are of a very basic kind with only a limited number of decorative, mostly rectangular objects resembling mainly animals. In Gabbeh usually bright colors, such as yellow and red, are used. Although large fields of solid color are used in Gabbeh designs, the color is variegated (the color varies throughout the rug).

Gabbehs are made of natural, handspun wool yarn and all the colors are created with natural plant dye. Due to its relative ease of production (less precise pattern, small number of knots per square centimeter, etc.) a Gabbeh is one of the less expensive varieties of Persian carpet.
