Locally, they're known for their "dragon patterns," with striking octagonal medallions at the center. The villagers thought the designs inside the octagons resembled a dragon’s head, giving these rugs their unique name—"dragon goal rugs"! Some even call them "kuyrum-lu" due to the curved motifs dancing around the medallions.

Kars rugs feature medallion compositions with playful motifs like stylized plants, birds, dragons, geometric shapes, hooks, arrows, and ram horns! The color palette is a feast for the eyes, with bold reds, deep blues, rich greens, and natural hues like black, brown, cream, and grey—straight from the wool itself!
