Decorative Motifs
Geometric Designs
The decoration of Oriental rugs includes a myriad of extremely various ornamental elements. One group consists of small geometric figures, such as stars, octagons, crosses, polygons, hooked lozenges amongst others. These can be spread at random throughout the design, appearing in both borders and main fields. The primary function is to fill open spaces. Motifs can be specific to production area. Geometric styles tend to be used in Turkey, the Caucasus, Turkestan and some areas of Persia. Another common design element is that of leaves and flowers. The leaves are usually depicted in a slightly curved form. The Persian, curvilinear knot is used to produce these motifs. A higher knot count is used to produce the finely woven intricate designs.
