The “Boteh,” derived from the Farsi term for paisley, is one of the most recognizable motifs in rug design. Its signature pear-shaped figure appears in a wide range of styles, from intricately detailed to simple geometric forms. Often likened to a teardrop or the shape of a curved leaf, the Boteh is traditionally embellished with floral arches that symbolize the garden of paradise. Interpretations vary widely; some consider it a representation of fertility, a pine cone, a cypress tree, a flame, a leaf, or even male sperm. Its versatile symbolism and elegant form have made it a perennial favorite among collectors and interior designers worldwide.
