Karaja pieces share the geometric vocabulary of the Heriz family — stepped medallions, bold motifs, architectural borders — but they are typically smaller in format and carry a more tribal, village register than the major-format Heriz workshop pieces. They are valued for the directness of village weaving combined with the architectural readability of the Heriz design family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece was hand-knotted around the 1960s in the Karaja village from \u003cstrong\u003ehand-spun highland wool on a cotton foundation\u003c\/strong\u003e. The highland wool of the region is naturally rich in lanolin, giving the surface a soft sheen and natural resistance to wear.

The upper and lower medallions are angular, star-form panels with central floral rosettes; the smaller middle medallion is a navy-and-ivory hexagon. The medallions are outlined in \u003cstrong\u003elight ice-blue\u003c\/strong\u003e, set against a field scattered with geometric blossoms, little cypress and tree forms and hooked motifs. A \u003cstrong\u003enavy main border\u003c\/strong\u003e of geometric vines and leaves frames the field, flanked by lighter guard borders. The palette carries \u003cstrong\u003ebrick to tomato red, navy and ice blue, ivory, green and rust-orange\u003c\/strong\u003e with honey and brown accents — the classic Azeri triad enriched by village colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8b0000;font-size:1.15rem;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:1px;text-transform:uppercase;margin-top:35px;\"\u003ePresence in the Room\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt \u003cstrong\u003e195 × 147 cm (2.87 m²)\u003c\/strong\u003e this is a generous small-to-medium room-size piece.
