Abstract: (5 Views)
Malayer County is the most important center of carpet weaving in Hamadan Province. The culture of carpet weaving in this region is intertwined with the lives of the people and has absorbed many influences from the local culture. As such, Malayer can be considered one of the significant hubs of carpet weaving in the western part of the country, as the carpets and rugs from this area feature unique and distinctive designs that often reflect rural styles. Although there are some influences from the patterns and motifs of neighboring regions such as Arak and Bijar, they can still be traced in Malayer's weavings. The main issue in this research is to identify and introduce the formal characteristics of the common and authentic designs and motifs of carpets and rugs in the Malayer region. The type of research is descriptive, and the method of implementation is descriptive-analytical, with data collection conducted through library research and fieldwork (in the form of interviews and observation cards). The results of this research revealed that the motifs of Malayer's carpets and rugs are predominantly in broken and geometric forms, featuring original design patterns such as: the fish motif, which is used in many regions with prefixes like four, dog, riverbank, standard bearer, and Herati (specific to single-ply weavings), the four-claw motif, the twisted walnut motif, the fish shawl motif (specific to double-ply weavings), the plant claw pattern, and raised motifs in color backgrounds of lacquer red, white, and navy blue.
