what do you mean by that Cyrus?

Persians are still good muslims (majority of them) although i agree if this work (with pictures of Prophets etc) would be considered unislamic and heretical -

however i can recognise some of the following; Ghengis Khan, Napoleon, Tamerlane, King Louis, Washington, King Solomon, Prophet Jesus, Prophet Moses, Prophet Muhammed??, and i think Darius, Cyrus, Colombus, Heraclias?

interesting work

How comes you Persians have those figurative art pieces? Does not Islam forbids to portrait people?

A 200 years old Persian carpet depicts portraits of 54 kings and world-renowned men from Moses and Confucius to Napoleon and George Washington.

Who do you think are these men?

Two other types of this carpet:
