The diversity of nature, various historical, economic and social factors made a great contribution to the variety of Azerbaijani carpets. Each region of Azerbaijan is famous for its original carpets and carpet-ware being quite peculiar to each place. The practice of carpet-weaving originated in rural areas and as time passed developed into an essential craft in Azerbaijani culture. There are several historical sources that speak of Azerbaijani carpets. They are mentioned in the writings of Greek historians Herodotus and Xenophon, Chinese traveler Xuan Tes Ank, and Arabian travelers Al-Movsudi and Al-Mugaddasi.
