The tree, in Shiraz weavings, is treated differently from the Ispahan rendering of it, and shows a blend- ing with the floral background against which it rests. The edges of all plant or tree forms in Shiraz rugs are softened, and are quite unlike the highly convention- alized, more architecturally rendered ...designs in weav- ings farther north.
