There are many unique styles of carpet made in the Northern region of Iran, which is known for its greenery and its historical scenes. All of the carpets from this region are tribal styles and therefore have triangular patterns. The Kurds are nomadic tribes who live in Northern Iran around the Turkish border. Their rugs are knotted on narrow looms with a wool foundation. They are heavily influenced by the Caucasian rugs and are generally geometric.
