‘Boteh’ or the Farsi word for paisley is a widely recognized rug motif. It is a pear-shaped figure that comes in many versions ranging from highly detailed and elaborate to simple, geometric forms. It is recognizable because of its resemblance to paisley or a teardrop, with its pear-shaped figure and extending arch of flowers, symbolizing the garden of paradise. Some believe it represents fertility, pine cones, a cypress tree, a leaf, a flame or even a male sperm.
