The legendary battle between Rostam and Sohrab, one of the most moving and tragic episodes of Ferdowsi’s *Shahnameh*, has inspired countless works of Persian art, including intricately woven carpets that capture the emotional intensity and heroic grandeur of the story. In these masterpieces, the figures of Rostam and Sohrab are often shown in the midst of a duel – engaged in a fierce but fateful battle, their expressions a mixture of courage, confusion and sorrow. The intricate borders and motifs surrounding the central scene reflect the grandeur of ancient Persian design, while the colors – deep reds, royal blues and rich golds – emphasize the gravity of the moment. Such a carpet is not only a decorative piece, but a storytelling canvas that preserves a deep cultural heritage, reminding viewers of the power of fate and the heartbreaking cost of pride and war.
