Investigating Contemporary Local Motifs on poshtie in Gonabad City
Authors
Abstract:
Pillows are small fluffy woven fabrics that are prepared (filled with fibers such as cotton or rug fluff) and after that the fabric is used for leaning in the parties. Due to lack of comprehensive research on woven works in Gonabad town, this article aims to investigate and classify the motifs of Gonabad pillows and their meaning and implications, in a descriptive way, in order to achieve the categorization and recognition of motifs. After conducting library and field research, it has been attempted to find an answer to these question that: what can be categorized for local woven works? What is the role of culture, customs and common traditions on these works? The findings show that in addition to Baluchi, Arab and Turkmen motifs that are the result of migration, invasion or immigration to this part of Khorasan, local motifs derived from the customs and beliefs of the region play an important role in these textures. Local motifs can be found in the vegetation of climate such as wild flowers, Mohammadi, saffron and tulip, wheat and barley. Among the trees Cedar, Pine and Majnoon (insane) Willow could be pointed out and all the plant motifs are a symbol of endurance, beauty and desire for blessing and ailment. The animal motifs in the form of goats, deer and rams symbolize hardiness and perseverance, and lion is a symbol of the Ashura religious ceremony. Among birds, roosters and pigeons can be seen as being an early bird, and a messenger in the desert for people, although quail, pheasants, sparrows, and others are also found. Human motifs have played a role in the position of the business and the work of people, beliefs and the desire for happiness are the motifs for newly wed brides.
