Iran Press/ Africa: On the fourth day of the 17th meeting of the Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage held in Rabat of Morocco, Turkman Needlework was globally registered as the 20th intangible cultural heritage of Iran jointly with Turkmenistan.
Turkman Needlework is an applied and ornamental artwork that the artists practice on silk or wool fabrics with natural silk threads, cotton, or synthetic threads such as acrylic.
The artist is inspired by nature, envisions a scene in his mind, and then performs it as a picture on the very fabrics; each of the pictures is both of symbolic and decorative natures.
