Abstract

The article presents the iconography of carpets in Armenian medieval miniature art. The aim of the research is to highlight the dual role of carpet iconography in both spiritual and practical contexts, examining the artistic decoration of interior spaces through examples from miniature art. The topic is relevant because the connection between carpets and miniature art contributes to the reevaluation of cultural heritage, and through iconography, it becomes possible to reconstruct the complete image of a medieval Armenian home from a new perspective. The study’s objective is to reveal the ritualistic and artistic functions of carpet depictions. The conclusions of the study are as follows: 1-In miniature compositions, the carpet is an integral part of the interior space. 2-Despite the conventions of miniature art, the iconography of carpets maintains a realistic essence. The research can serve as a guide for those studying the traditions of interior decoration in medieval Armenia and the symbolic characteristics of Armenian carpet art.
