- Boteh Motif - A boteh motif is a design element commonly found in traditional Persian and Central Asian rugs. It features a teardrop or pear shaped figure with a curved upper end and a pointed lower end, often with a curved stem and tendrils or leaves radiating out from the bottom. The boteh is thought to be a representation of a cypress tree, a symbol of spiritual growth and eternal life in ancient Persian culture, but it's also used as an ornamental motif in various art forms. It is also called Paisley design in Britain after the name of the town in Scotland famous for its weaving industry in the 19th century.
