NR: 16963 Location: Heriz Size: 9'2" x 6'9" Country: Iran Pile: Wool Base: Cotton HERIZ Details: Heriz is a small town east of Tabriz in the province of east Azerbaijan (NW Iran). The area is Turkish-speaking, and the villages resemble Turkish villages with their mud walls and flat roofs on which hay is stacked. Agriculturally, the area is poor, though the altitude makes sheep rearing profitable. The best Iranian wool is produced from mountain sheep. Heriz carpets are hand knotted on a vertical loom using a cotton warp and weft. The warp and weft are of strong cotton and the pile is of Maku wool. *Note that our web prices and in-store prices may differ.
