A view of the hand made carpet at the Imam Khomeini grand mosque in Tehran July 31, 2007. Iranian officials say the 6000 square metres carpet is the biggest hand made carpet in the world and will be carried to the Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan mosque in Abu Dhabi, UAE (United Arab Emirates)
Iranian women sit on a carpet worth 5.8 million dollars and stretching 5,625 square meters during its unveiling ceremony at the Imam Khomeini mosque in Tehran. (This seems like a relatively reasonable price for such a magnificent work of human art. There are mere paintings, I think, which have sold for about this price-- and even those paintings aren't probably what one might consider the best in the world. -Chain)
