Now let’s go over the Boteh design, Persian rugs. So Boteh in Farsi means a budding flower or plant. And in the Persian culture, it stands for growth and regeneration. So you can imagine this is a pretty powerful symbol to the rug weavers.
And what you’ll typically see, the way that the Boteh is used in the rug is it’s going appear as like a tear drop shape, or like a flame shape, or like a pine cone shape.
And it’s going be spread throughout the rug in a repeating pattern and usually in an allover pattern.
