Azarbaijan آذربایجان
Azarbaijan is the region of north-west Iran around Tabriz, distinct from the Republic of Azerbaijan to the north. Its weaving ranges from the floral city carpets of Tabriz to the geometric kilims, soumaks and pile rugs of the Shahsavan nomads and of Kurdish tribes in the Qara Dagh, which Iranica describes as very similar to Shahsavan work.
