Among the exquisite array of textile objects woven by theShahsevan confederation of tribes, nomads first mobilized in the northwesternborder areas of what was then the Safavid Persian empire in ca. 1600, jajimshave been prized as luxury domestic objects in Iran for generations.
The technique of making a soumak involves wrapping wefts overfour wraps before drawing them back under the last two warps. The process isrepeated from selvedge to selvedge. Soumaks tend to be finely woven, andalthough not as durable as piled carpets, they are stronger than kilims. Theyare made in the Caucasus, southern Persia and Anatolia, by the Shahsavan tribein north-western Persia, and very rarely, by the Baloch on thePersia/Afghanistan border. Sizes vary, from carpet format to tiny tribaldomestic bags. Unlike the kilim, which is usually reversible, weft strands onthe underside of a soumakh may be left uncut several inches long, possibly inorder to provide extra warmth.
