Th e carpet is a cult object used in decorating the house, certainly found in all areas of the Republic of Moldova. It is an old object that retains in itself symbols and ornaments oft en common with those on shirts and folk costumes. Th e tradition of weaving carpets by each housewife has little been preserved since the beginning of the century, but the tradition of decorating the house with carpets is still viable today. Th e authentic carpet as an object of worship is characterized by a strongly geometric and stylized characteristic ornament with common symbolic infl uences of the ornament of folk wear products. Th e chromatic range, the organization in rows of the ornament in the carpet or in the popular shirt, the presence and the semantics of the height and of the in the shirt, as well as the border of the carpet mention about the deep interferences in the organization of the plastic space. Th e predominant use of the tree of life, the comb or the palm, the shepherd’s hook in the carpet ornament, but also in the embroidery elements of the shirt or other pieces of popular wear characterize the authenticity of the product.
