A type of hand-woven carpet or rug made by Avshar people, traditionally from the Anatolia region of Turkey.
From the Avshar, a Turkic-speaking nomadic people of the Anatolian plateau. The word comes directly from the people's ethnic name, following the pattern of many carpet types named after their makers.
Avshar carpets are practically archaeological records of nomadic life—their patterns and dyes come from the exact plants and minerals available in Turkish mountains, making each rug a snapshot of a specific time and place.
