| Description | This elegant silk pictorial rug is one of the most special examples of the traditional art of hand-weaving. The large tree figure at the center captures attention as a "Tree of Life" motif, representing the source of life and universal balance. The flowers, birds, and fruits in its branches symbolize the diversity and abundance of life. Birds flying freely around the tree and various animal figures (such as lions and deer) in nature enliven the composition. Birds symbolize the soul, freedom, and divine messages, while predators represent power and courage. The panels that form the rug's frame contain pastoral scenes: these sections, adorned with people interacting with nature, architectural structures, and different creatures, offer miniature-style narratives reflecting the human-nature relationship. Woven from pure silk with a high knot density, this work is not just a rug, but a timeless wall painting adorned with powerful cultural symbols. |
