Pazyryk Carpet ,The Oldest carpet in the World
The Pazyryk carpet, discovered in 1949 by Sergei Rudenko in a royal Scythian burial mound in the Altai Mountains of Siberia, is considered the oldest known hand-knotted carpet in the world, dating back to the 5th–4th century BCE. The permanently frozen conditions of the tomb preserved the rug in extraordinary condition for over two thousand years.
Measuring approximately 183 × 200 cm and featuring an exceptional knot density of about 3,600 knots per square decimeter, the rug demonstrates a highly advanced level of textile craftsmanship. Its intricate designs—including stylized floral motifs, deer, griffins, and a procession of horsemen—reflect the artistic influence of the Achaemenid Persian Empire.
Although found in Siberia, most scholars believe the rug was woven in ancient Persia or in a region strongly influenced by Persian culture. Today, the Pazyryk rug is preserved and displayed at the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia, where it continues to be studied as a remarkable testament to Persia’s early prominence in carpet weaving and the extensive cultural exchanges across Iron Age Eurasia. #Persianrug
