VILLAGE

Village weaves are generally made in a more ordered and symmetrical fashion. Their weave is generally finer than tribal rugs due to the more settled lifestyle of a village weaver. There is greater availability of dyes and more time for spinning of wools. City rugs, therefore, have a finer weave and a more diverse colour palette. Village rugs, much like tribal rugs, are angular and geometric, and also show the inspiration the weavers take from their surroundings. You can often see the stylised representation of birds, animals and mountain ranges.
