Describe the process used to create the Ardabil Carpet. Why was it made and how does its design demonstrate its purpose?

What will be an ideal response?

Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. The carpet was made off-loom by weavers who knotted carefully dyed wool over the warps and among the wefts as the work progressed.
2. The carpet was produced to cover the floor of a prayer chapel, and the design accordingly features two mosque lamps amongst an intricate pattern of flowers and a central motif of a sunburst.
