The knotted carpets of the Herki Kurdish people of Iraq are true works of art. These rugs are handmade using a knotting technique that has been passed down from generation to generation. Herki Kurdish rugs are known for their beauty, quality and durability.

The Herki Kurds live in the Zakho region of northern Iraq, on the Turkish border. They are known for their traditional crafts, including carpet making. Herki Kurdish rugs are usually brightly colored and are often decorated with geometric patterns. The designs often depict symbols of nature, such as leaves, flowers and animals.
