A Chinese Kerman Tree of Life Prayer rug is a type of hand knotted carpet that combines elements from both Chinese and Persian rug-making traditions. It typically features a central medallion or motif known as the "Tree of Life," surrounded by intricate floral and vine patterns. The design often symbolizes fertility, immortality, and the cycle of life. These rugs are crafted using high-quality wool or silk and are handwoven using traditional techniques, resulting in a durable and luxurious finished product. The term "Kerman" in the name refers to the city of Kerman in southeastern Iran, which is renowned for its historic rug-making industry. However, the use of the term "Chinese" indicates that these rugs may have been produced in China but with influences from Persian designs, particularly those of Kerman rugs. Overall, Chinese Kerman Tree of Life Prayer rugs are prized for their exquisite craftsmanship, intricate designs, and cultural significance, making them highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of fine rugs.
