Abstract
The designs and motifs of Qashqa’i gelims betray in a sense their weavers’ creative minds, high intelligence, unwavering efforts, great ability, graceful spirit, and deep thought. Understanding the meanings of these motifs and designs will help us become more familiar with the religious beliefs of the Qashqa’i people, the true meaning of their lives, their myths, traditions and rituals. It will also help us recognize the factors that have led to the appearance or disappearance of various motifs throughout the history of the tribe. The general factors that have led to the appearance of motifs in Qashqa’i flatwoven rugs have been mentioned as follows:
A) Geographical factors and the natural environment
B) The history, culture, and art of Iranian nomadic tribes
C) The organization of the tribe
D) The literacy, amount of knowledge, income and status of living of the people The most important conclusions of the study concern the categorization of Qashqa’i gelims, the most prevalent designs, motifs and sizes of the Qashqa’i gelims, designs that have undergone change or have been forgotten and the use of various colors in these rugs.

Abstract
Aesthetics is one of the important topics in the evaluation of works of art and can be examined from two aspects, objective and subjective. Rural and Tribal ruges in Iran are the result of the taste and mental creativity of weavers and designers who, despite being mentally woven, have a lot of harmony. The purpose of this study is to analyze the visual aesthetics of such carpets and due to their diversity and to avoid the breadth of the subject, studies the two designs from the region Yalmeh and Minakhani with this question: How are the principles of objective aesthetics reflected in the designs of Medallion and Brick-shaped Yalmeh and Minakhani? This qualitative research has been done by descriptive-analytical method and using library resources and based on Mikel Dufrenne's objective view of aesthetics and Ocvirk's view and visual principles, which is one of the main sub-branches of the objective aesthetic view. The results show that the correct structure of visual principles in rural carpet motifs as an art object leads to aesthetic perception of these works by the audience so that seven factors of Ocvirk approach including harmony, proportion, balance, motion, hegemony and brevity in the design and color of the studied samples are evident and only in Minakhani rugs, the principle of design diversity is less due to the repetition of patterns. Also, maintaining geometric proportions and observing visual and symbolic principles in form and color are other components of aesthetics in them

Abstract
Tasheer Carpets are among Eisa Bahdori’s works in carpet designing, which enjoy special structural and visual features. These carpets illustrate a single theme havingbeen designed and woven in three different ways, which evidences the capabilities of their creative designer. Therefore, this article aims at the visual analysis of Bahdori’s trilogy through a comparative approach. The research method is descriptive-analytical, and the data have been collected through field study (interviews and photography of works) as well as library study. The purpose of the study is to answer this main question: what are the commonalities and differences of the structural features of designs and patterns in Eisa Bahadori’s carpet trilogy concerning the theme of Tasheer?
The results indicates that a repetition of a number of motifs, along partial similarities in rotation of arabesque, is common in all three carpets; among these motifs, one can note the presence of animals (ibex, deer, tigers, lions, and bears), birds (pheasants, humpbacks, and falcons),mythological animals (Simurgh and dragons), vase designs, and combat scenesbetween Simurgh and pheasant. In addition to these commonalities, the structures of carpets in terms of the presence or absence of toranj and sar-toranj as well as their shape (oval, circle), the coloring of the background and borders, and even the way the creatures and vegetal elements are pictured have their unique visual values. Such visual features distinguish each carpet from the other, despite their single theme of Tasheer, and reveal a process of growth in the designing of these three carpets
