REFLECTION OF RELIGION IN TEXTILES DURING THE SAFAVID PERIOD OF IRAN

The aim of this research was determining the influence of religion on fabrics in terms of type and role in Safavid Iran. The research method was analytical. Results showed that in the Safavi empire, nationalism and religion were two of the most influential elements in politics and government, both of which were important to consolidate the government. For this reason, motifs have been taken from these two elements, namely, geometric and written motifs.
