Apadana hand-woven kilims carry a story from the weaver, the intricate art of communication practiced by the kilim weavers who are often illiterate. They are beautifully knowledgeable in the language of kilim rugs. Girls weaving kilim rugs for their dowry chests use this language to express their hopes for children, good fortune or a strong and handsome husband, while a married woman may show her irritation with a prickly mother-in-law or longing for an absent mate. Tribal allegiance and symbols may also be expressed through symbols whose meanings are now perhaps forgotten but still kept in designs by some mysterious impulse of the subconscious.
