Persian peace carpet flies to Sweden

An Iranian artist is weaving the Carpet of Peace and Love to present it to the Nobel Foundation in a bid to spread the country's message of friendship.

"I will present the hand-woven carpet to the Nobel Foundation that takes steps in promoting peace and amity. I mean to spread Iranians' message of friendship across the world," the Iranian carpet weaver Mohammad Da'va Saraei told CHTN.

"The hand-woven carpet measures 110 by 110 centimeters. It is reversible and has exquisite designs on both sides," Saraei said.

"A carpet in this size will contain around 3 million knots of various colors," he added.

Tahmineh Daniali, head of Iran's Handicrafts and Traditional Arts Department, a subdivision of Iran's Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism (ICHHTO) tied the first knot of the carpet symbolically .
