An attempt to rethink Persian carpets and understand them in ways that are meaningful in Iranian culture. "In an interwoven way, this book explores the sources of Persian carpet designs in Greek metaphysical philosophy, Islamic mysticism or Sufism, Shi'a Islam and Iranian folk beliefs. Symbolic meanings of major design elements are derived from the practices of Sufism. More than technical knowledge, the goal is an identification with the human motivations and social concerns embodied in the carpet."-Publisher. Signed by the authors.
