Abstract
Veris is a narrow weaving with a width of 2-10 cm. and a length of 1-8 m., often woven with woolen yarns by simple tools known as cards. This woven has a variety of applications, in the past for decorating clothes, the collar, the edge of the skirt, the belt, baby wrapping, hat bands, saddles and many other uses, the handmade strips were used. But today, more is used to decorate clothes. For the Veris weaving, the Bakhtiyari tribes use many motifs and designs most of which are based on their customs, habits, perceptions, insights, environment and their culture. In this textile, geometric, human, animal, herbal, inscription, positive and negative motifs are used. Red, black, blue, yellow, and dark green are main color in Bakhtiyari hand woven. Each of the colors in the Bakhtiyari tribes symbolizes an event. For example: red Veris for happy event, green Veris is for fastening infant and black tent, yellow Veris for expensive objects, blue Veris for fastening ordinary objects, black and white Veris for mourning events. In short, the composition of colors in the Veris depends on the type of application. This research, by examining the current literature and applying a fieldwork, implements a descriptive & analytical methodology to analyze and understand the “symbolism” in card weaving. The study will examine different motif shapes and explain the meaning of the motif among the Bakhtiyari tribes. For this purpose, different car woven samples will be illustrated and pictured for the reader. The study concludes that card weaving has decorative and functional meanings.

Summary
Card weaving is to weave a robust woven with a simple weaving with cards and fixed tools. Specifying the reason for using certain colors in the hands woven like Veris is difficult, but among the three natural uses of color in the art, including "referenced, coherent and pure", we can say that the colors used in the Bakhtiyari Veris is kind of referenced. The colors in the Bakhtiyari Veris are often obeying the fix rules that are the weaver, which is the current pattern, nature, material, and decisive use This idea is being developed in us that the nomadic women may not be familiar with all of these concepts correctly, but a statement by Johannes Itten leads us to point out that "the only ones who love color are beauty and permanent presence. The color of life in the human body, with light in the sky, with purity and hardness depends on the soil of death, night and pollution of all kinds, all are colorless" (Read, 2001: 41)
