Abstract :
    The promotion of a new perspective on traditionalism in contemporary societies has encouraged everyone, particularly researchers, to establish a bridge between past and present arts. Like any other phenomenon in culture and civilization, art is influenced by various factors and shaped by different elements of culture and civilization. The aim of this article is to highlight the importance of the motifs in Shahsavand rugs and their use in interior architecture. The Shahsavans are one of the most important tribes residing in the southern regions of Fars Province. Considering the historical trends and settlement locations of the Shahsavans in other parts of Iran, Fars Province is recognized as the second-most prominent area for Shahsavan communities after Azerbaijan. Each motif and design in a Shahsavan rug represents an aspect of the inner world of the tribe and serves as a language for their way of life. This study seeks to answer the primary question of how the visual characteristics of each motif are defined and what their similarities and differences are. Due to the vast number of designs in these woven artworks, the research focuses solely on the main themes within them. This qualitative research employs a descriptive methodology, with most data collected through fieldwork
