Artistry of 96-year-old Iranian craftswoman

Meet Hajiyeh Roqayyeh, kilim weaver from Yazd Province in Iran, who continues to breathe life into her craft at the age of 96.

Despite her age, her hands move swiftly, weaving intricate patterns and colors into stunning works of art that captivate enthusiasts of Persian handcrafts.

Her dedication and passion for crafting beautiful kilims are truly inspiring, reminding us that age is just a number when it comes to pursuing artistry.

Persian carpets and kilims are world-renowned for their exquisite beauty, intricate designs, and superior craftsmanship.

One of the unique features of Persian carpets and kilims is the fact that weavers from different age groups are involved in this profession.

The art of weaving these handcrafts has been passed down through generations in Iran.

The process of weaving a Persian carpet or kilim requires patience and skill. The weaver needs to sit at a loom for hours on end, using their hands to knot each strand of wool or silk into place.

This process requires a high level of dexterity, which comes with years of practice.
