Vaq-vaq

This exquisite Heris carpet, a prime example of the Tabriz school’s artistry, takes its name from the village of Heris. Its intricate patterns are inspired by the renowned Lachak-turunj composition. Azerbaijani carpets are known for including human figures and sometimes uniquely focusing on individual body parts like eyes, hands, or mustaches, which may hold ritual significance. This particular design showcases human figures, capturing specific actions such as a person dancing with a handkerchief in hand.
