Learn about Shasavan rugs and bags through our introduction and photo gallery. Admire the tribal artistry of Azerbaijan. The Shahsavan (Shasavan, Shahsevan) is a nomadic pastoralist tribe located in northwest Iran and in the southern part of Azerbaijan. They migrate between their winter quarters in the Mughan steppe and their summer quarters around Mount Sabalan in the Ardebil province. Now many Shahsavans are settled.
