The design of rug and carpets (kilim) have artistic values and capacities which are not known enough for the artists and scholars.  As some of such motifs belonging to the carpets of the city of Jiroft have been extracted by the creative mind of artist without any direct connection with the nature, this paper focuses on such motifs which are similar to natural elements in their visual representation and names. This article aims to study the degree of influence and inspiration, obtained by these motifs from nature through a historical, descriptive and analytic approach.
As a conclusion it could be said that all of the motifs and colors belonging to such carpets have been attached with the cultural traditions and beliefs of the local artists.  In addition, the usage of abstract motifs of animals and plants of Jiroft reveal the high influence of the environment on Jiroft weavers.
