This handwoven rug, titled Kamal al-Mulk, depicts a scene of a master artist and a young apprentice engaging in a traditional artistic activity. The elderly man, likely a skilled artisan, is shown working with tools, while the young boy sits beside him, observing attentively. The background is decorated with a warm brick-patterned wall, enhancing the sense of an educational environment and the bond between the teacher and the student.
The rug is crafted using the Sporti weaving technique, a special method in carpet weaving employed by some weavers to create a beautiful and unique color composition. In this technique, the weaver uses multiple threads of different colors simultaneously, resulting in a vibrant blend of colors and a distinct visual effect.
The use of Marnous threads brings vivid colors and delicate textures to this piece, and the fine details in the faces and clothing of the figures make this rug not only an artistic creation but also a cultural and historical artifact.
Kamal al-Mulk conveys the transfer of educational and artistic values from one generation to the next. By utilizing intricate weaving techniques and symbolic imagery, this piece serves as a stunning representation of Iranian handwoven art.
