Pazyryk Carpet

is the oldest known surviving pile-woven carpet in the world, dating back to the 5th century BC. This 1.8 x 2 meters carpet was discovered in 1949 in a frozen burial mound in the Pazyryk Valley of the Altai Mountains in Siberia.
Scholars associate the Pazyryk Carpet with the Saka (Scythian people), nomadic Iranian-speaking tribes of the Eurasian Steppe, who were culturally influenced by the Achaemenid Persians.
The motifs including mythical animals, horses, and elaborate borders reflect the religious beliefs, shamanic practices, and nomadic lifestyle of a Saka decorated with Aryan nationalistic symbol in center, Derafsh Kavian.
