A Persian Flaw: rug and carpet symbolism
You may have heard the saying a “Persian Flaw.” The legend behind it goes that in ancient times, Persian rug makers were deeply religious and believed that only God could make something perfect. Therefore, in their humility before God, they would deliberately drop in a small faulty stitch, a flaw, into each rug.
In doing so, a “Persian Flaw” revealed the rug maker’s devotion to God. It’s a whole different way to express how one feels in the grand scheme of life, and while it doesn’t excuse us, it works as a hat tip to how we are all human and imperfect. Can you find the Perisan Flaw?
