Turkoman rugs are handmade in northwestern Iran, parts of Turkey, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Syria, and parts of the former Soviet Union. They are usually very similar to one another and very distinguishable from Persian rugs. The patterns that they normally incorporate are all over geometric patterns with the main color being a rich burgundy, which is exclusive to the Turkomans. Often prayer rugs are made in these regions with the same color scheme. They are sometimes referred to as Caucasian carpets. These beautiful articles are genuine and authentic and will add some exotic flavor to a room.[citation needed]
