Description

The Indian city of Agra, home of the infamous the Taj Mahal, has an extensive and notable tradition of carpet weaving.
Agra carpets have designs of spiraling vines, often combined with small organisms such as birds, elephants, and even people.
Weavers of Agra were masters at vegetable dyeing and eventually created their own unique palette of color, most often using a profusion of gold combined with soft mid-tone blues as well as a range of soft rust-reds, pinks, and a lavender tone.
