在波斯语中，“萨南达”即高贵东方地毯的意思。自18世纪沙哈纳迪尔将萨南达设为库德人的首府后，这个小镇就在地毯界声名远扬。萨南达的织工们不仅掌握独特的编织技艺，还不断从周边地区汲取经验。几个世纪以来，萨南达的地毯编织工艺代代相传，并以其精细的绘图与编结，宽广和谐的用色，艺术性的构图而蜚声遐迩。
这张独特的萨南达地毯以驼毛色打底，图案精细，空间布局合理，为萨南达手织毯的代表之作，保留了该地区独特的美学元素，非常难得。蓝色的中心葵和主边界上都绘有优美的赫拉提图案，内侧的深蓝色边缘上写有波斯语祝辞，原来，这条优雅的地毯是一名年轻而憧憬幸福的女孩梦见婚礼后所编织的，中心葵上下两端颇具艺术性的人面，表达了人们对她的祝福，可谓独具匠心。从这条地毯中，我们也可以体会到波斯艺术中以书法入画的特点，这一在波斯延续千年的艺术特色与中国传统书画有着异曲同工之妙。
此外，我们还注意到这张精美地毯的绒面非常薄，细密的编结工艺是萨南达手工毯的一大特点，这张古毯无疑是其中的代表之作。
This excellent Senneh although knotted on a cotton rather than silk foundation weave, this extremely fine Senneh with Camel Hair Colour background, with its exquisite patterning and distinctive open field proportions, represents the best type of the town's period weavings, from which few acceptably preserved items of aesthetic merit have survived. The four point pastel blue centre medallion is covered with beautiful dark blue Herati elements, decorated with artistic two human faces. The massive proportions of the corner pieces are admirably judged to counterbalance the scale of the medallion, while continuing the focal ornaments design and colour. The main border decorated with Herati design is in between two mirror borders and an extra slender border which has calligraphy of Persian words meaning congratulations. This excellent piece was woven by a young girl who dreamt of getting married, and that is also one of the reasons for the human faces in the rug which wishes congratulations to her. Interesting are the mirror borders which are different and decorated in different flowers, to give extra beauty to this lovely piece. This exquisite rug has a pile clipped to paper thin fragility, with the knotting as fine as the Senneh workshops could achieve.
