The superb rug is a good example of the horror vacui which permeates much Persian weaving. The weaver of this rug was clearly pretty keen on the boteh. Botehs appear within botehs in what is known as the ‘mother and child’ formation. Further botehs fill the white ground, while yet more are ranged in the main border.
