Abstract

The Chaleshtor lozeng rug is challenged by its multilayered lattice structure, providing a collection of distinct images, each of which has significance in its productive culture. Since the understanding of the hidden meaning of adhesive carpet is more difficult to understand through its components, this study was designed to clarify the meaning of one of the components of this rug. In this research, Angel Lozeng was considered a challenging rug and in the process of research, it was attempted to answer the following question: What are the verbal and narrative themes behind Angel Lozeng, and the accompanying themes and icons after explaining What is the ideal concept? To answer this question and to analyze the role of the angel lozeng in this article, we used Panofsky's Iconology. The data needed for this research were obtained through image observation and component analysis, and the information needed to analyze it through library studies was finally analyzed. The results of this study indicate that the herbal figurines depicted in this adobe are a representation of the Tree of Life or the Elemental Sade tree, and thus the imprinted bird figure is a representation of Simorgh or Gabriel. The interpretation of the meaning of this pattern suggests that the existence of this pattern in the rug is a symbol of the need for new creation and creativity from an ideal source.
