The Esfand Bafi that hangs in my home for comparison.
Iran& #39;s Esfand Bafi looks startlingly similar to Huichol "Ojos de Dios" charms in Mexico, used for protection as well.

I think this is an example of textile technique being discovered in different places but leading to very similar results- and even fostering similar beliefs.

Another example of shared technique in very different places on Earth is ikat.

Known as abr-bandi in Persian, this fabric dying technique is widespread in Central Asia (and India and Southeast Asia).

But you& #39;ll also find ikat in Central America, as it is a common technique in Mayan traditional clothing (now adapted to other uses as well).

Again, a technique used in textiles that was discovered independently in two different places- but with somewhat similar results.
