The people who live here are called Asari and are culturally closely connected to the people of Azerbaijan and Turkey. Carpets from Tabriz usually have a short and dense pile made of high-quality wool. The pattern is usually dominated by a central medallion with floral motifs. In addition, Tabriz carpets are often found with a continuous pattern called the "Mahi motif". Mahi means fish in Persian and describes the small, fish-like symbols found in this pattern. Carpets from Tabriz are distinguished by an additional quality designation. The categorization refers to the node density per square meter. The finest carpets with well over a million knots per square meter are called 80Raj.
