Abstract

The Persian skills and initiative in weaving Indus- try, has a deep antecedent and history. About 3000 to 3500 B.C, knitting a delicate cloth by a weaving wheel was customary. Some of the Lorestan bronze cups, which have a Susa style, indicate the fabrics that have an interesting pattern DESIGN in themselves. Some other references indicate that they also embroidered and filigreed the cloths. The oldest Persian cloth that was made from herbaceous material, has been discovered from the grave of a child in the "Shahr-e-Soukhte", which is about 4700 years old. Achaemenian also was famous for weaving woolen cloths and delicate fabrics. Achaemenian' s glazed tiles in Susa indicates some of the floral fabrics that their DESIGNs was certainly embroidered. The Sassanian (3-7th c. A.D) TEXTILE art - which is the last part of the eastern ancient fabric DESIGN - is important significant element of Persian art, because of visual aesthetic values, symbolic ornamental motives~ use of natural and organic colors and weaving technology.Metallurgy, sculpture, pottery, and other forms of decoration shared their DESIGNs with Sassanian TEXTILE art in this time. SILKs, embroideries, tapestries, and rugs were woven with servile patience and masterly skill. The two dozen Sassanian TEXTILEs that escaped the teeth of time are the most highly valued fabrics in existence. Even in their own day Sassanian TEXTILEs were admired and imitated from Egypt to Far East. Presence of geometrical and floral fabrics and currency of TEXTILEs with magnificent animal DESIGN and human figures, prove the application of high technology and advanced weaving machines in Sassanid period. Geographical and transitional situation of Persia and the estimate of Persian TEXTILE DESIGN in the ancient world, causes that many of the neighboring civilizations, such as BYZANTINE, follows the similar conceptual and ornamental patterns that practiced in the Sassanid period. Since the 4th century, the Sassanid policy had been to export various products to Egypt rather than raw SILK to the Mediterranean in general. So under Justinian in the sixth century, SILK worms were smuggled in and used to begin a local royal SILK industry. There was a small but wealthy market for such products and the emperors jealously guarded the technology. Naturally, the Sassanid SILKs that had been exported to BYZANTINE offered a model. In this paper we have tried to review the historical, political and artistic aspects related to Sassanid and BYZANTINE empires, by help of historical-comparative analyzes. The paper also deals with main concentration on ornamental motives, DESIGN contents and the main structure of their composition that applied in the fabrics of Sassanid and BYZANTINE period, with respect to the inter relation between their forms and concepts. Comparative analyzes between them shows the Sassanid TEXTILEs had a deep influence on BYZANTINE fabrics. In spite of the power and authority of Christianity as a formal religion in BYZANTINE, it is surprising that SYMBOLIC CONCEPTual forms and religious patterns of Persia had been developed and used in BYZANTINE TEXTILE industry.
