Boteh

Boteh means new buds of flowers and plants in Persian, and is regarded as a symbol of growth and regeneration in Persian culture.

When searching for boteh patterns, they can often be found in rugs from Tabriz, Sarouk, Hamadan, Baloch, Mahal, Mashhad, and Malayer.

The shape of boteh on rugs resembles tears, flames, or pine cones, appearing as a repeating motif throughout the rug.
