| Popis: | The man-made periodical patterns executed in textile are especially suitable for the study of plane groups. The diversity of geometric patterns can be described based on the symmetry classification of the two-dimensional symmetry, anti-symmetry and colored symmetry. The symmetrological peculiarities of representative models of hand-woven Chiprovtsi–Pirot (NW Bulgaria and Serbia) carpets have been studied. They share the same elements and ornamental motifs, methods of composition, color combinations, etc. The traditional carpet ornamentations of the Chiprovtsi region are symmetrically organized, with highly stylizing geometric forms. Three different symmetries of the characteristic triangular forms of the ornaments have been recognized: trigonal, hexagonal and tetragonal. The description of their ornamentation revealed motifs as original features, as well as the effects from outside Chiprovtsi-Pirot area. The influence of materials and technology on the resulting pattern symmetry should be carefully emphasized in analysis of the visual art. |
