Bakshayesh is a small village in the Iranian Azerbaijan region, located southwest of Heriz. The area is mostly known for its late 19th century carpet production, which includes large-sized rugs with either a Herati or central medallion pattern. Rugs frequently resemble antique Heriz designs and techniques, mainly with a geometric design. The favorite colors of Bakshayesh rug weavers consist of brownish red, light and dark pink, light and dark blue tones, and ivory. Blue is normally used to add contrast.
