Textiles have long been among the most essential and widely used necessities of human life. As significant archaeological materials, they often deteriorate over time due to the inherent instability of their raw materials, resulting in a relative scarcity of studies on ancient textiles. Since the early centuries of Islam, many textiles have included inscriptions that serve as primary historical sources, reflecting the social, political, and economic conditions of various eras. Consequently, the archaeological study of inscribed textiles can address numerous historical inquiries. The National Museum of Iran houses one of the most unique collections of textiles. Its Islamic section contains over 200 pieces of textiles, carpets and rugs, dating from the early Islamic period to the present. In the present study, 19 samples of inscribed textiles dating from the 10th to the 14th century AH were examined using direct observation and documentation methods. The aim was to analyze the techniques used for inscribing these textiles. This research addresses the following questions: What were the main inscription techniques used on Islamic textiles? How were these techniques executed, and how did they relate to the material type and function of the textiles? Methodologically, the study is fundamental in purpose and descriptive-analytical in approach. Findings indicate three principal inscription techniques: weaving (6examples), embroidery (6examples), and printing/painting (7examples). By correlating these techniques with the type of fiber, weaving technique, script style, and thematic content, the textiles’ probable functions can be classified into three categories: religious, political, and everyday use. The analysis reveals that cotton or linen textiles were generally inscribed using the pen technique, while silk textiles often featured woven inscriptions. Embroidered inscriptions were applied across various fabric types and materials.
