Moud is a small town south of Mashad, in the Khorasan province of Iran. Rugs from this area are characterised by homogeneity in patterns and quality. Moud mahi are made in a beige, light red, or blue tone, with all-over mahi patterns or with a star-shaped medallion. Mahi means fish, and the mahi pattern is the most commonly used in genuine Persian rugs. Looking closely, you can see a pond encircled by four fish.
