The motifs in this rug were created by adapting the organic forms of various plants such as the cypress tree and pomegranate fruit from the region into geometric, cultural, and folkloric designs. Some of these were inspired by motifs from classic Persian carpets which carry symbolic meanings, such as fertility, life, and eternity.
