The field guide · Where it was woven
Sarab سراب
Sarab is a town between Tabriz and Ardabil in East Azarbaijan, within the summer pastures of the Shahsavan, and Iranica attributes its rugs to Shahsavan weavers around the town. They use undyed camel hair extensively and are close in colour and design to the camel-hair rugs of Hamadan, but are usually double-wefted where Hamadan rugs have a single weft.
