N2 - There is a spiritual & intellectual power in Persian carpets which connects to the terrestrial world. Plant patterns that make gardens not only symbolize paradise in the heart of carpets; but also the patterns in the borders which sometimes are decorated by angels represent the spiritual world. Maybe the position of angels indicates the initial stage before paradise gate (in the middle of the carpet) and Judgment Day, which our acts will be evaluated by angels and God will visit us, or it comes from other Persian archetype that has intellectual power, known as Farvahr. This research is tried to find and analyze roots of the angel shape by the form of Farvahr archetype, and we use holy Verses and religious stories as documents for proving the cause of its human shape with two wings. Writers try to prove that the Angel pattern is connected conceptually with the symbol of Farvahr
