In the course of the centuries the most significant branch of manufactoring industry was kilim production as an economic activity. It was the original carpet- weaving production linked to the urban locality which was done by the women. The population’s orientation towards cattle-raising as its main occupation, then large quantities of excellent wool and Pirot as the trade hearth of the region predetermined the growth of carpet-weaving and weaving production in general. That is how all the conditions for the production of the Pirot kilim were met: the sheep from Stara planina ranges yiealded large quantities of excellent wool which was processed and dyed here, the weaving- technique was well-advanced, and the trading activity was highly developed.
The ornaments in the Pirot kilim are always geometrical whether they depict a bird, a flower, a dove or an object in the direct environment of the weaver. Women-weavers created all the patterns (apart from the influence of other areas and cultures) out of their own inspiration using objects in their homes and around them as their models.
