Notes	Kashan Persian wool rug displays the image of a king or noble sitting on a chair decorated with crowns. This person drinks with his other hand from a copper jug. Pictured carpets in Qajar Iran would depict royalty and celebrities in various scenarios. A hunting scene characterizes a Qajar carpet, with a variety of animals and plants. The phoenix above the nobleman represents immortality, as a common creature in Beresan mythology. Hounds symbolize honor and glory, and the deer symbolizes innocence. Important images of water indicate purity and the source of life, with the fish embodying undying love. During this period, the monkey tree signifies Persian honor and pride.
