介绍（中）	传统上，链式针迹（gulab-duzi）用于许多波斯刺绣。众所周知，里海城市拉什特为阿尔德比勒的萨法维宫廷提供了服务，并在艺术方面表现出色，因此拉什特刺绣（rashti-duzi）发展成为一种独特的工艺。这些面板由男性专业刺绣师在组织良好的车间执行，其特点是使用毡制法兰绒（面布，通常用于该地区的军装）进行地面。这些设计用粉笔猛扑，并使用金属钩针将链条缝在牢固扭曲的彩色丝绸中。就像现在的悬挂一样，外边框通常是不同颜色的补丁带，精心制作成各种颜色。然而，这种祈祷壁龛悬挂的独特魅力在于冥想树设计的优雅演绎，充满了苏菲象征意义。分层对称的树暗示了苏菲主义的阶段（maqamat），而连接地球和天堂的鸟类象征着信徒在祈祷中灵魂上升的神圣指导。
介绍（英）	Traditionally, the chain stitch (gulab-duzi) was used in much Persian embroidery. The Caspian city of Rasht was known to have supplied the Safavid court at Ardebil and excelled at the art, hence Rasht embroidery (rashti-duzi) developed into a unique craft. Executed by male professional embroiderers in well-organized workshops, the panels were characterized by the use of felted flannel wool (face cloth, often used in military uniforms of the region) for the ground. The designs were pounced with powdered chalk, and chain stitched in firmly twisted colored silks using metal crochet hooks. As in the present hanging, the outer borders were often patched bands of different colors, elaborately worked in a riot of colors. The unique charm of this prayer-niche hanging, however, is in the elegant rendition of the meditative tree design, replete with Sufi symbolism. The layered, symmetrical tree alludes to the stages (maqamat) of Sufism, while the birds, creatures that link the Earth and the Heavens, symbolize the divine guidance in the ascent of the believer's soul in prayer.
