More abstract weavers show it. Of course, this division is not absolute, because rural or tribal maps are often designs taken from classic models that the weaver has changed according to his taste. However, urban maps have a higher variety and more complex designs, urban carpets usually have floral designs and plant motifs with rhythms or wavy and delicate curves, while rural and urban carpets generally show abstract forms that are repeated more and without those charming curves. They are drawn smoother and straighter.
