Boostan is a Persian carpet woven by Master Ali Khodadadi and is considered to be a masterpiece in the history of Persian artwork. == About Boostan == Master Khodadadi began the work of designing and weaving Boostan in March 1978. The design was described and dictated by Mr. Khodadadi and drawn by the late Master Archang Esfahani over the course of two months. Weaving began with a pile 7 centimeters thick (wool strands 7 centimeters long) and was completed in October 1979. The most important stage, and that which contributed the most to the artistic value of the carpet, the scissors work, was begun in November 1979 and completed in January 1986.〔http://boostan.eu/en/homepageen.html〕 Boostan is referenced in ''The Dream of Paradise'', a set of three books describing the most famous carpets in the world. In this reference collection, Boostan is listed among 115 internationally renowned pieces of art, including The Pazyryk Carpet, considered to be the world's most antique carpet, woven in the 5th century B.C.〔''The Dream of Paradise'' (Vol. 1) p. 33〕 The following is a description of the design of Boostan, as cited in ''The Dream of Paradise'': :Intermittent and sinuous scrolls of Band ''islimi'' motifs are elaborately employed to outline the () medallion that glitters in the centre of the carpet. In this regard, ''khatayi'' motifs accompany the ''islimi'' scrolls in order to illuminate the central medallion whose pendants echo the decoration of the medallion. :Having been illuminated in different hues and motifs, the wide and narrow borders stand out in contrast, in spite of the fact that they are drawn with no separating lines. In this respect, the wide border is embossed with almond-shaped medallions flanked by animal and ''khatayi'' motifs, whereas the narrow borders are embellished with intermittent and fluctuating floral ''islimis''.〔''The Dream of Paradise'' (Vol. 1) p. 107〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Boostan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
