Baluch Persian Rug Pictorial Pahlavi Family Dated 1968

This Baluch Persian rug is a semi-antique pictorial piece dated 1347 (1968), depicting the Pahlavi II family in the lower section, including Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, Queen Farah, and Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, alongside a royal crown. The composition likely reflects a mind-woven interpretation of the coronation period, produced shortly after the official ceremony.
In the upper half, a sacred figure is depicted combining Islamic and Christian iconographic elements: holding a book, raising one hand in a gesture of blessing, and flanked by two angels. The garments, headscarf, and the presence of a date palm reference Islamic visual traditions, while the structure of the figure follows Christian imagery.
The rug is entirely mind-woven without a pre-drawn design, resulting in a highly individual and layered composition. It is considered extremely rare among Iranian pictorial rugs. The pile is medium.

Description

This Baluch Persian rug is a pictorial composition dated 1347 in the Solar calendar (1968 A.D). The timing of the weaving suggests that it was produced shortly after the coronation of the Crown Prince, and the imagery likely represents a mind-woven interpretation of this historical moment.
The lower section of the rug features portraits of the Pahlavi II family, including Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, Queen Farah, and Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi. A royal crown is also included, reinforcing the theme of monarchy and ceremony.
The upper section presents a sacred figure that merges multiple visual traditions. The figure holds a book and raises one hand in a gesture of blessing, while two angels appear on either side, reflecting elements of Christian iconography. At the same time, the clothing, headscarf, and the depiction of a date palm in the background relate closely to Islamic visual language.
This combination of imagery suggests that the weaver drew from multiple sources, possibly indirect or remembered, rather than from a single formal model. The rug is woven without a pre-drawn design, and the composition evolves through the weaving process itself.
Among Iranian pictorial carpets, this example is considered exceptionally rare due to its subject matter, historical reference, and the complexity of its iconography.
