Heriz is located in Northwestern Iran, in Azerbaijan northeast of Tabriz. Extremely durable rugs with the same name are woven here, on the slopes of Mount Sabalan. The new Heriz rugs and rugs are thicker and very tightly woven. These rugs become more and more beautiful as they age. In the area high quality and very durable wool is produced, because the sheep's drinking water contains traces of copper which is found in Mount Sabalan. The rugs are often woven with geometric designs and a large medallion that dominates the centre. The designs are traditional and they are woven from memory. Black and red herbal colours are the most common.
