One of the painted curtains of Karbalai Qasem which he uses on long trips is one of dimensions 40 by 70 CMS. The main curtains are usually depicted in dimensions around 2 by 4 M. or 1.5 by 3 M. On trips, because of the weight of the huge curtains, sometimes curtain frames or Ghabpardehs are used. The number of faces on the Ghabpardehs are much limited compared with those on the main curtains, and consist of main characters such as [[Abbas ibn Ali]] and the story that is to be narrated. | One of the painted curtains of Karbalai Qasem which he uses on long trips is one of dimensions 40 by 70 CMS.

The subject of the narrated story concerns an old weaving woman of Neishabur and Mutawakkil, the ruling Abbasid Caliph. The old weaving woman from Neishabur (in the east of Iran) goes on pilgrimage to Karbala in Iraq to the grave of Imam Hussain. Mutawakkil-e Abbasi, who opposed to Imam Hussain, were ordered to his executors to throw the old woman into the Euphrates river. With prayers and the shouts of the old woman, Abbas who was one of Imam Hussain's followers rushes to her help. The old woman is saved and reaches her goal in pilgrimage and visits the shrine of Imam Hussain and Abass ibn Ali.[[File:Qasem daneshpajouh 7.jpg|thumb|]] | ||
