The Ziloo, as an ancient Iranian hand-woven textile, expresses its own history in its varied and rich motifs. This variation and richness are especially discernible in Mehrab (Saf) design Ziloos from Maybod, especially made as floor coverings in mosques. Because of this close connection with the mosque as a sacred and religious location, it has assumed a symbolic religious meaning and is considered a part of the mosque complex. Mehrab (Saf) design Ziloo is thus a symbol of the ranks of the faithful in collective prayer with all of its religious implications.
