Boteh
The precursor of the Indian paisley, the boteh is sometimes interpreted as a flame. Among tribal weavers, it was often considered as analogous to a sprouting seed and symbolizes the "Seed of Life". The boteh represents the ever present potential for growth and regeneration. It was very inspiring to the Caucasian tribes people that the magic of growth and abundance was possible even in the adverse conditions under which they lived. The boteh often encloses a mature plant within it, symbolizing that the whole always exists within the part.
