This Shahsavan rug, crafted in Saveh city around 1965, exemplifies the rich heritage of the Shahsavan tribe, known for their intricate weaving techniques and vibrant designs. The field features a balanced composition of white bons against a strong red backdrop, with the main border reflecting these colors for harmony.
Central to the design are five vertically aligned crowns and two Shamseh motifs. Shamseh, a traditional Persian sunburst pattern, symbolizes the sun and eternity, often used to convey the spiritual and historical significance of the piece.
Tiny red floral and fruit abstractions adorn the field, adding depth and complexity. The border is a series of repeated arches, each containing crosses, a common element in ancient Persian art, alongside two flags in red and green.
The combination of crowns, Shamseh motifs, crosses, and flags suggests a deep connection to art history, making this rug not just a decorative piece but a symbolic artifact reflecting cultural and historical narratives.
