Abstract
Nomadic hands-woven are the most important manifestation of indigenous and tribal art. This is representing a set of social and cultural characteristics of nomadic life. In the Qashqai tribe, storage bags are one of the practical products of the women of the tribe. The production of many practical fabrics has become obsolete due to the change in the life structure of tribe, the settlement of nomads, the migration of a large number of nomads to rural and urban areas, the replacement of cheap goods in accordance with the needs of life. The purpose of this study is to identify the structural and functional characteristics of this type of hands-woven in the Qashqai tribe and to study these products based on the anthropology of art. The data collection of this research is based on field research and library study. The research finding is presented by descriptive-analytical method. Storage weavings in various sizes were chosen as indicators in accordance with the needs of nomadic life. Women artists and the choice of weaving technique of hand-woven fabrics are defined in accordance with their function. The index is a strong sign of the artist’s creative performance and expresses the artist’s agency and the headline expresses the artist’s position. As an indicator, these hands-woven play a central role, which is also the heritage of the tribal community and a factor for the continuation of the weaving style process that has remained to this day.

Abstract
Mahdishahr (Sangsar) located in Semnan Province is the location of residence of Sangsari tribes, which are among the original Iranian tribes. The carpet weaving in the Sangsar area is very old due to the nomadic life, but the urban carpet weaving is probably about one hundred-years-old. Sangsar Rug designs have been influenced by the virtu, tastes, social and climatic circumstances of the inhabitants of the region over the past years, and indigenous and cultural concepts have played a substantial role in the evolution and diversity of the design. Despite having native raw materials and self-painted wools, one of the features of Sangsar Rug is the use of the design and pattern of carpets in reputable areas of carpet weaving that are seen in fewer clans or similar tribes. Sangsari weavers wove various designs such as four-season, lachak (a typical scarf), and bergamot, subsoil, bush, carpet tableau, etc. based on the plan or by modelling (taking patterns) of urban carpets back (tail) of other areas. One of the most diverse designs, Introducing the characteristics and identification of the types of woven altar carpets, available and available in the region in the last one hundred years.which is woven in different types and dimensions in this area, is the mehrab design.

Abstract
Carpet weaving is an artistic industry that initially emerged with the material need of man for a rug and later merged with a sense of aesthetics and reached its peak. In this process of development from the beginning of its emergence to its perfection, Iran has been a leading country. The characteristics of Iranian carpets have led to this range of hand-woven products being recognized as a symbol and artistic identity of Iran worldwide. The diversity of Iranian carpet designs and patterns is as wide as this country of art. The Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari region, especially the Babaheydar region, has a special place in the study of nomadic carpets due to its geographical proximity to the Qashqai tribe and the mutual influence of patterns and weaving methods. This research aims to investigate the influence of Qashqai nomads on Baba Haydar carpets and also to identify the differences and similarities between the carpets of these two regions. In this research, descriptive analysis method was used and data was collected through field visits, library documents and analysis of research background. Since in the research literature, the sample of studies found was only related to the status of Baba Haydar carpet weaving. And the lack of study in this field and finding similarities between Qashqai and Baba Heydar textures has not been done so far, so the mixing of the carpet production capacity in this region of Qashqai and Bakhtiari patterns needs to be investigated and studied. The research findings show that the carpets of the Baba Heydar region have been influenced by the Qashqai in many aspects, including geometric patterns, carpet bergamot, and overall design. However, the indigenous characteristics of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari and Qashqai have also caused differences in the carpets of these two regions. Overall, the results of the research indicate a kind of motif exchange between the two regions that, while influencing, has also preserved the identity independence of Babaheydar carpets and Qashqai carpets.

Abstract
The Persian carpet is one of the most prominent cultural, historical, and economic symbols of Iran, holding a distinguished position in the country's history and national identity. This unparalleled art form, with deep roots in Iranian culture and history, is recognized not only as an artistic and functional commodity but also as an integral part of everyday life and a symbol of national identity across various cultures. The central research question of this article is: “How has the Persian carpet been able to simultaneously shape national identity, social values, and economic impacts within Iranian society as both an art form and a cultural commodity?”
Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, this article examines the historical development of the Persian carpet, from the Pazyryk carpet as the oldest known example to the flourishing of carpet weaving during the Safavid era, and its influence on Iran’s economy and cultural interactions in the contemporary period. From a sociological perspective, the study analyzes the role of carpets in reflecting the beliefs, values, and cultural symbols of Iranian society. Persian carpet motifs, such as boteh jegheh, Shah Abbasi floral designs, and arabesque (eslimi) patterns, embody religious, mythological, and natural themes that reveal the profound Iranian worldview toward nature, culture, and history.
In traditional societies, carpets were not only regarded as essential household items but also served as indicators of families’ social, economic, and cultural status. From an economic standpoint, the Persian carpet has been one of Iran’s most significant export commodities, playing a crucial role in foreign exchange earnings and job creation, particularly in rural areas. The carpet-weaving industry, largely centered on home-based workshops, has contributed to the empowerment of women and the intergenerational transmission of skills, thereby supporting the sustainability of local communities. However, in recent years, this industry has faced several challenges, including competition from low-cost products, shifts in global consumption patterns, and reduced governmental support.
The findings of this study indicate that the Persian carpet, beyond being an artwork or a commercial product, is a cultural heritage that has played a vital role in shaping and consolidating Iranian identity. Emphasizing the historical and social values of this art, alongside supporting the carpet-weaving industry, can contribute to its preservation and promotion at both national and international levels. This research highlights the necessity of revising supportive policies and improving the global introduction and marketing of Persian carpets.
