Azerbaijani carpet weaving (Azerbaijani: Azərbaycan xalça toxuculuğu) is a historical and traditional activity of the Azerbaijani people. The Azerbaijani carpet is a traditional handmade textile of various sizes, with dense texture and a pile or pile-less surface, whose patterns are characteristic of Azerbaijan's many carpet-making regions. Carpet making is a family tradition transferred orally and through practice.[1]
In 2010, the art of Azerbaijani carpet weaving in Azerbaijan was added to the UNESCO List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.[2]
