elahe sheikhi

The art of weaving in the territory of Iran is a part of the cultural identity of it`s people. The traditional handicrafts of Sistan and Baluchestan are also considered as an important aspect of this identity. Apart from design and color, many other dimensions of carpet production in this region can be considered as their cultural-religious characteristics. Since the study of the semantic dimensions of an artwork in terms of its creator is much more recognizable,
the present study aims to identify the unknown aspects of the indigenous culture and beliefs of the producers of these crafts by visiting the case study, and it also tries to answer this question that what is the correlation between indigenous rugs of Sistan and Baluchestan and their creators’ cultural traits and religious values.
This research has conducted direct observation and interviews with the natives with the approach of art anthropology and the methodology of ethnography in the region, and then through data coding in three levels of open, axial, and selective coding has attempted to classify them.
The results show that elements comprising the carpets in the Sistan and Baluchestan region, from their initial stages to the end, have wide semantic dimensions so that even the most trivial of them have deep roots in the culture and beliefs of its natives. Specific rituals for weaving, belief in sore eyes, composing special poems during weaving, washing ceremonies, etc. are a part of this elements. In this province, apart from its practical aspects, carpet is considered as a sacred commodity, and although there are obvious cultural differences among the people of Sistan and Baluchestan, the similarity of some beliefs regarding carpets shows the unity of the primitive roots of carpet weaving among the two main groups of inhabitants in this region.

Iconographic Analysis of Ravar’s "Layla’s Camel" Intra-hybrid Rug

Alireza Taheri

The pictorial rug of "Layla’s camel" belongs to the Qajar era, in which the central image is occupied by the large body of an "intra-hybrid" camel; the outer shape is realistic and the inside is composed of a large number of small human and animal motifs.
Creating patterns of some creatures in this way became popular in Iranian painting from the Timurid period, which reached its peak and popularity in the Safavid era. This method also was considered in the Mughal art in India at the same time as Safavid.
In this article, the "Layla’s camel" rug is described and analyzed with iconographic approach and using library resources and some scientific websites. The purpose of this study is to introduce a specific example of pictorial carpet and analyze it in a scientific way. In this regard, an attempt has been made to answer these questions:

How can the relation of rug inscriptions with its central image be read?
What is the main theme of the story from the perspective of iconographic analysis?
What is the irony of the collection of animal species that make up the body of "Layla’s camel"?
What do the presence of the angel-harpy and the red-winged dragon symbolically mean in the rug?

Poetic inscriptions in the margin of the rug, in harmony with the pictorial elements of the text, refer to the story of Layla’s wedding with Ibn-Salam and her farewell to Majnun, quoting "Maktabi_e Shirazi". But the main meaning of the story at this stage is the victory of good (Majnun) over evil (Ibn-Salam) by the animals.
The "intra-hybrid" camel also consists of animals that Majnun was accompanied in the mountains and in the desert, but at the same time has a caravan of wedding joy. Also, the image of the angel-harpy in its ancient meaning is a symbol of victory, which refers to the battle of the animals that support Majnun with the dragon – Ibn-Salam– and kill him.

The origin of the carpet depends on Savojbolagh: Features and how its design, color and patterns

سیران چوپان

Patterns in Iranian art should be called message painting and expression painting, which sometimes manifests itself directly and sometimes in symbolic language. One of the places of expression and emergence of symbols in Iran is the "carpet". In addition to the traditional and local aspects, these patterns and expressions can express the creative mind influenced by the environment around the carpet weaver. According to researchers, although little is known about Kurdish weaving before the nineteenth century, many garden officials and flower carpets from the 17th to 18th centuries identified northwestern Iran as Kurdish. In every general book of carpets, there are two well-known and famous types of "Saneh" and "Bijar", but these two can not be considered the most Kurdish carpets left because at least two other types of Kurdish carpets, called "Mosul" (In Iraqi Kurdistan) and "Savojbolagh" have ceased to exist and be produced in the category of contemporary Kurdish carpets. The purpose of this study is to retrieve the history, introduce the location, and location of the carpet attributed to Savojbolagh in the Mokrian region, northwestern Iran. For this purpose, the authors try to recover the position of the carpets attributed to "Savojbolagh" with a descriptive-analytical method and with the aim of development, and its qualitative data as documents. The result contained the following findings: Savojbolagh carpets were not produced before the First World War and for reasons we are unaware of, and this type can be considered the best carpet, with natural plant colors and a moderate price in the market of that time. Traces of these carpets are often found in the collections of European countries. Due to the lack of introduction of this type of carpet in Iran and the importance and necessity of reviving and addressing it or even recovering such designs and colors, for carpet weavers, it can lead to the continuation of the production of such exquisite carpets.

Mohammad Kazem Hasanvand

Hunting and animal’s combat design of animals in the Safavid era has been reflected in various compositions of carpet designs as they are combined with Floral, Medallion, and Corner and Medallion patterns. One of the significant examples of a hunting ground corner and Medallion carpet are the ones held in the Poldi Pezzoli Museum, Milan. In this carpet, hustling hunting scenes have been depicted. The present study aimed to explain the design method of this carpet. The research method was descriptive-analytical and the data were collected from library. The data were analyzed qualitatively using structural analysis method and based on the existing standards governing the design of Iranian carpets in the Safavid era. The results of the research indicated that this carpet has had a two-layer design. The first layer, designed in form of Corner and Medallion, has been performed by ¼, and by making minor changes, it becomes ½ and in the second layer the hunting scene added to design through ½. The elements used in this carpet's patterns include: Medallion, inscription, Upper-Medallion[1], corner, background, borders and hunting scene, as the latter plays a prevailing role on the carpet. The Medallion-bound line [2]is designed by way of 1/16, turning ¼ after three repetitions. The Medallion design was recessed or built-in. After the Medallion-bound line is completed, the inscription and the Upper-Medallion added as ½, with the same part used as the carpet corner and the background is decorated with Khatai motifs. This carpet has four rows of borders. The outer border and the main border are designed by reflective method and the two inner borders are designed by transfer method.
