In the historical books, Tabarstan was considered one of the three main areas of Iran's exquisite carpet production, and the art of weaving continues in the highlands of this region. But there is little information about the famous hand-woven patterns of Tabri. The geographical location of Tabarestan and its distance from the central government have preserved the cultural characteristics of this region in different historical eras, therefore, identifying the woven motifs of Tabarestan can be a platform for knowing the visual elements and cultural identity of the region. The aim of the current research is to identify the traditional motifs of the native handwovens of Tabaristan region. This research is of a qualitative type and has studied the data in a descriptive-analytical way. Pattern information was obtained by sampling traditional handwoven fabrics in the historical areas of Tabarestan. Documentary sources were used for analysis. The research findings show 150 valuable roles. These motifs can be divided into vegetable, animal, geometric and abstract motifs in terms of shapes and themes. Many traces of ancient motifs can be seen among these motifs. Such as: bergamot-like shapes, four-feathered flowers, mutual birds, symmetrical tree and swastika pattern. The presence of ancient motifs in Tabari handwovens and their comparison with the motifs of early Islamic art crafts in Tabaristan shows that these motifs were used in Tabarestan textiles before Islam and during the Sassanid period. Their use has continued until today in the handwoven fabrics of the Alborz highlands in Tabarestan.
