Carpet
weaving is one of the most amazing faces of Persian culture, legend and art. Considering
the ancient weaving tools discovered in Lorestan in west of Iran, the antiquity
of this artistic industry in ancient Iran is traced back to Bronze era! The
oldest piece of carpet which is known to be weaved in Iran is Pazyryk carpet
which is 1.83*2 meters with an advanced weaving technique (36 symmetrical knots
in per 2cm). This carpet is named after the Pazyryk valley in Altai Mountains
where this masterpiece was discovered from ancient graves hided under ice and
snow for centuries. According to the results of Carbon 14 examinations and the
adaptations of the patterns on this carpet and the patterns in Persepolis, Pazyryk is related to Achaemnid era (5th century B.C). The skillfully
weaving technique of Pazyryk carpet proves a long history and experience behind
this art.
