Brother sim (silver) and sister Zar (gold) always stay together and we should not forget these two because they complement each other in Zarbaft fabrics.
According to the news staff of the 7th Fajr International Handicrafts and Traditional Arts Festival (Sarv-e Simin-e 7), the film ” Brother Sim, Sister Zar ” directed by Ali Maghami with the presence of Linda Kiani was screened on the third day of the festival at “Sarv-e Simin Cinema”.
According to the content of this documentary, Zarbaft fabrics weave determines the use of the fabric, and the best types of Zarbaft fabrics are kept in the National Museum of Iran.
One of the Zarbaft carpets that is kept in this museum is a weave left by the descendants of Saadi Shirazi, which was woven by the order of Shah Abbas Safavi.
The color and pattern of Zarbaft fabrics preserve the motifs and it is not only these patterns and motifs that have memory and history, but Iranian culture, history and civilization are depicted from the heart of these fabrics.
If Iranian civilization and history are abandoned, Iranian national identity would disappear. We can export these arts and handicrafts to the whole world so that the history of this land will always be alive.
The 7th edition of Fajr International Handicrafts and Traditional Arts Festival (Sarv-e Simin-e 7), is being held from 15-23 February at National Museum of Iran.
