Iconographic transformation of the “dragonfly” motif in the image rugs of Khawf

The monster slayer is a recurring concept repeated in art. This research was written with the aim of connecting the carpet to the chain of artworks containing the dragon pattern. In other words, the carpet is considered as a work of art and a representation of an ancient pattern. Two carpets woven in the city of Khawf contain a monster slayer pattern. The production of two similar carpets over a short period of time indicates the aforementioned pattern of prosperity in the region. Is it possible to discover the meanings and passwords hidden in the "dragon" theme? It seems that the "dragonfly" theme in the visual rug second Pahlavi era has taken the iconographic gravity points into account, and this has caused the role to be repeated over a short period of time. It is likely that "rain-seeking" is the most important concept arising from the role of "dragonfly" in both instances. The present study was a qualitative one, using the transformation of the iconography method, so that the samples were first described and then analyzed. Gathering information from library studies and carpet images is the product of imaging the works displayed at the Baluch Carpet (suffering to treasure) exhibition. Studying the role of the "dragonfly" has opened up many passwords. Of the two types of general and minor transformations, the "dragonfly" role of visual rugs had minor modifications. The study showed that the least change was at the carpet center and the role of the "dragonfly" was a recurring pattern. Rainfall is the most important meaning of the "dragonfly" pattern in the rugs.
