This is an unused Iranian Kalamkari textile, said to have been obtained about 50 years ago in Tehran from the owner of an old house in the countryside. It is made of thick cotton cloth, using wooden blocks carved with basic unit patterns. For example, a blue dye is applied to a wooden block, and the pattern is stamped onto the cloth. This process is repeated, carefully overlapping the patterns to cover the entire cloth. Then, a red dye is applied to a different block with the same pattern, and red is stamped, repeating the process for each color. This piece uses five colors: blue, red, yellow, and others. The wooden blocks are sized to allow for quick and accurate repetition of the basic patterns. In this piece, the distance from a small red flower at the edge to the next identical flower is approximately 20 cm vertically and 16 cm horizontally. The central large rectangle repeats the basic pattern, while two small rectangles with blue and red triangles on the outside depict the base of Iranian mud-brick walls. Between them, yellow vines and green leaves are drawn in a mountain (wave) shape on the vertical walls. The wide border on the outside features large flowers and small dotted flowers connected by blue vines in a mountain shape, representing a Persian garden. Kalamkari often features about 10 characteristic flower motifs, similar to this piece. In the central rectangle, the comma-shaped boteh (meaning "flower," paisley) spreads throughout, along blue vines (stems), and various sizes of flowers bloom from the vines with blue calyxes. The yellow and red flowers blooming on the vines include flowers with thin petals that are upward-facing and spread in three or two layers (estimated to be roses, a symbol of empathy, and the same applies below), flowers that spread in a trumpet shape from a large blue calyx with a blue bud at the top (tulips, martyrdom), and small flowers with six thin petals extending from a blue calyx (jasmine?, purity), and feather-like flowers with three-colored petals (saffron, vitality) are also depicted. The ten-petaled flower with pointed red petals likely refers to the pomegranate flower (fertility), which is representative of Iran (the 11th petal). The yellow vines and green leaves of the mud-brick walls are marjoram, a herb that becomes a green bush. The wide border features seven upward-pointing, jagged petals with four buds, and the small yellow and black-brown crown flowers are speculated to be carnations (purity) or lotus (enlightenment) with buds, from the pointed seven petals, and small three-colored dotted flowers (clove fruit and flowers?) continue in a mountain shape. While the flower names of the motifs in this piece cannot be definitively determined, exploring the flower motifs and their meanings in this vintage cloth, which is 50 years old, allows one to experience a Persian garden while using it as a bed cover. Please note that the edges of this piece are too long and have a fold, and be aware of color fading when washing. Size: Approximately 245 cm (13 cm includes the fold) in length, approximately 150 cm in width.
