Gabbeh is known as gava in Kurdish and Luri and is also called khersak () in Bakhtiari, literally meaning a "bear's cub". Traditionally a sleeping rug, a gabbeh is a hand-woven pile rug of coarse quality and medium size (90 x 150 cm, 3 by 5 ft, or larger) characterized by an abstract design that relies upon open fields of color and a playfulness with geometry. This type of rug is popular among the populations of the Zagros Mountains of Iran, including Kurdish, Luri and Qashqai people.

Las alfombras gabbeh (gabba en persa, gava en kurdo y ḵersak en ) son alfombras persas tejidas tradicionalmente por las mujeres de unas tribus nómadas del suroeste de Irán, en su mayoría las tribus kashgai de la provincia de Fars. Las tejen también las mujeres de otras tribus nómadas de los montes Zagros de esa misma región, como los kurdos, los luros y los bajtiari. En persa el nombre significa: natural, en bruto, intacto, sin cortar.
