Clothing has undergone changes over time due to social, cultural, and geographical factors. Each ethnic group has preserved its traditional clothing as a sign of its native identity. Embroidery is a traditional Iranian art with countless variations, appearing in unique forms in different regions. The embroidery art of Sangesar and Turkmen people, with its long history, has been an essential element in the decoration of the traditional clothing of women in these two groups. This is because this type of clothing has always been one of the main bases for embroidery, featuring a wide range of decorative ornaments and has been considered a visual art that preserves its native authenticity. Therefore, this research seeks to answer the question: What are the similarities and differences in the embroidery patterns of the traditional clothing of Sangesar and Turkmen women? The aim of this research is to identify the components of the embroidery patterns of the traditional clothing of Sangesar women and then compare them with the characteristics of the embroidery patterns of the traditional clothing of Turkmen women, in order to identify their commonalities and differences and ultimately develop theoretical knowledge about the traditional clothing of Iranian ethnic groups. The type of research is descriptive-analytical with a comparative thematic approach. The methods of data collection are library and field research. The results of this research indicate that there are many common features in the patterns of both groups, such as nature, culture, identity, beliefs, and within the geographical boundaries of this type of native art, which undoubtedly the gender of the artist has been very influential in creating these patterns in both groups. The existence of forms derived from nature such as geometric, animal, plant, and abstract designs, as well as the limited use of human figures, attention to delicate details in the embroidery of Sangesar and Turkmen clothing using silk thread, are distinguishing features from other patterns that over time have become symbols with concepts and native identity.
