This rug is from the Northwest. Such rugs are produced in the village of the same name in the slopes of Mountain. These carpets are durable and hard-wearing and they can last for generations. Part of the reason for the toughness of this carpet is that the Mountain sits on a major deposit of copper. Traces of copper in the drinking water of sheep produces high quality wool that is far more resilient than wool from other areas. Rug weavers often make them in geometric, bold patterns with a large medallion dominating the field. Such designs are traditional and often woven from memory.
