Forged in the stillness of twilight, Zavran stands as a symbol of depth and dominion. Its field glows in shades of obsidian and aged bronze, where light drifts like fire across shadowed stone. Intricate motifs move with commanding precision — the geometry of legacy and strength. At its core, a medallion gleams like a seal of kingship, timeless and unshaken. Hand-knotted by Afghan artisans, every knot holds the patience of mastery, every thread the echo of heritage. This is not just a carpet — it is the ground of empires reborn, a woven testament of power, grace, and endurance beneath your feet.
