Mesopotamia This is produced by Karavan in the mountain villages of the Eastern Turkey.  There is nothing to do in these areas during the harsh winter that Karavan is like the only job provider in those mountains.  These rugs are all hand-knotted with totally vegetal dyes and 100% hand-spun Turkish wool.  The designs are reproduced from museum pieces.  Sometimes different rug motives are mixed with which the weavers are familiar.  They are extremely durable.
