Happy New Year 🎊

I appreciate @cecilia , @Evelin , @Marius supported @Pegah Rug in 2025 and trusted me to bring beauty into their homes. 🙏 In less than a year, your support has been truly amazing. Here’s to 2026 - more rugs, a stronger circular Bitcoin economy, and even greater growth for my art and business. Love you all 💜❤️🧡

Merry Christmas Nostr! 🎄

2025 was an incredible year for @Pegah Rug on Nostr - something I never could have imagined. I never thought I’d build a small business here, supported by plebs who genuinely care, engage, and share thoughtful feedback. Hand-knotted rugs may be familiar to many - part of childhood memories or meaningful gifts - but on Nostr, this craft took on a new life. Accepting Bitcoin opened a bridge between cultures, allowing people across the world to discover handmade art created with patience, care, and real proof-of-work. What makes this special isn’t just the rugs - it’s the community.Nostr showed me what’s possible when people support builders, creators, and small businesses instead of chasing noise. I believe 2026 can be both challenging and powerful for all of us - especially for small businesses growing here. If we keep supporting one another, sharing value, and building together, this community will continue to thrive. 🤝 Love you all 💜❤️🧡

**The Tree-and-Bird Motif in Ancient Iranian Art and Tribal Weaving** The tree-and-bird motif is one of the most enduring visual symbols in Iranian culture, appearing continuously from prehistoric art and Achaemenid–Sasanian iconography to modern tribal weaving. This motif conveys themes of life, fertility, divine protection, and the union of heaven and earth. ------------------------------------------------------------ 1. Roots of the Tree-and-Bird Symbol in Ancient Iranian Art In Iranian cosmology, the tree is the axis of life a connection between underground waters, the earth, and the heavens. Ancient texts refer to sacred trees such as Gaokerena in Zoroastrian mythology, a healing and life-renewing tree. The bird, by contrast, belongs to the realm of the sky. Mythic birds-like the Simurgh, the Homa, and other divine birds-act as messengers between worlds, symbols of spiritual ascent, protection, and fate. When combined, tree and bird form a complete cosmic diagram: Tree = Earthly life Bird = Celestial spirit Together = the harmony of nature, fertility, and balance This combination appears in metalwork, seals, textiles, and architectural ornaments from the Elamite, Achaemenid, Parthian, and Sasanian periods. ------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Transition to Tribal and Nomadic Art As Iranian nomadic tribes developed their own weaving traditions, the ancient motif evolved into stylized and geometric forms, adapted to the loom and to the symbolic vocabulary of tribal women. Because tribal life is closely tied to nature, the tree-and-bird motif expresses: the cycle of seasons birth and renewal the protection of the household the spiritual guardianship of nature Over hundreds of years, each tribe developed its own visual language, ranging from highly abstract forms to elaborate curvilinear designs.

Nomadic rug design @Pegah

✨ @Pegah Rug 's mission: To send the art of hand-knotted Persian rugs to every corner of the world. One Persian rug for every Nostrich. That’s the dream. 🚀 @Pegah Rug proud to be the first Persian rug business to accept BITCOIN. 🧵 First rug: Shipped to Germany 🇩🇪 🧵 Second rug: On its way to France 🇫🇷 🌍 Big question: Where will the third rug go?

A design might start with inspiration from historical or architectural buildings and then mix in patterns from nomadic rugs.
