Given both the color composi-
tion of the carpets and geograph-
ical closeness of Garnibasar and
Vedibasar, it is possible to join
them into one group. Garnibasar
and Vedibasar provinces were
believed to be the most fascinat-
ing places in Iravan. Covering
the Vedi and Gamarli regions,
this district is located in the Ag-
ridagi Valley, which has a mild
climate.
The Araz River borders Ved-
ibasar province on one side and flows along the bottom of
the Agridag, Goyche, and Daralayaz provinces. It is dis-
tinguished by its pleasing nature and ancient history. The
mountainous regions of Vedibasar are comprised of unyield-
ing rocks, bare slopes, and green forest. Flat areas of this
province are known for their milder climate. Well known for
its valleys, rivers, and lakes, Vedibasar featured a plant cover
that created excellent conditions to extract different shades
of dyes. The carpets of Vedibasar and Garnibasar provinces
have similarities to those of the Gazakh School. The natural
geographic conditions of Vedibasar affected its agriculture
and daily life. Plants like oaks, pine trees, hawthorn, yellow
flower,
perpiyan
, sweet liquorice, and grape vines made dye-
ing the yarns easier and created different shades. The car-
pets of this district, famous for apricots and cherry plums,
were brighter and more colorful.
