Abstract
Handicrafts have origins in terms of how they were created. In this re-creation and creation, the works have sometimes influenced and affected each other, creating an inter-artistic relationship. Therefore, to read and interpret the creation of works, one can use the nature of the text and the application of semiotic methods, such as intertextuality. According to the modern theory of the concept of text in the field of intertextuality, no text is self-sufficient and every text is simultaneously both an intertext of previous texts and an intertext for later texts. Therefore, by expanding the concept of text, writing is not just an instance of text, and any interpretable phenomenon can be considered as text. The purpose of this research is to read and determine the possible relationship between two artworks (the painting of the Ascension of the Prophet (PBUH) by Sultan Mohammad and the carpet of the Seven Cities of Love) as two separate and different texts in Iranian handicrafts. The main question of the research is how someone based on the theory of intertextuality can read, analyze, and decode the relationship between two separate texts or artworks and relate them to each other? The nature of this research is descriptive and its base is on the analysis of library documents and written sources. In order to achieve this point, the approach of Gennett and Kristeva regarding the theory of intertextuality has been specifically used as the basis of the study. The findings show that the angels of the Seven Cities of Love carpet are related and identical in terms of their general nature, design, and form to the examples found in the original and main text (the image of the Ascension of Sultan Muhammad).
