Karaja
Karaja (Qarajeh) is a village in the Qara Dagh region north-east of Tabriz, just south of the border with the Republic of Azerbaijan. Its best-known design is a row of three geometric medallions: a central one with a latch-hooked outline, in a contrasting colour, between two eight-pointed stars. The rugs are symmetrically knotted, and Karaja runners resemble those of Karabagh but look more Persian.
