There is a mass production; despite of the lack of importance, this villages have 2500 rug loom. Desirable colors and designs and appropriate cost are some factors causing the Isphahani traders demand highly this rug, to export them to west. Shalamzar rugs are made of symmetrical knots and low density and weaved on a cotton yarn warp and two thick and firm wefts. The used pattern in this rugs are totally different from traditional ones, actually they have a prayer-niche design full of trees, vases and birds patter, and medallion ones as well. Another feature of the Shalamzar rug is that there is a sequence of yellow flower with stalk and leaves in the margin sides.
