The vertical motifs resemble stylized ram’s horns and tree-of-life variants, symbolizing fertility and protection.

Each compartment features a mirrored layout, giving the rug symmetry and rhythm.

Border Design: The wide border is adorned with stylized rosettes, stars, and cross-hatched leaves, drawing influence from both Caucasian and Eastern Anatolian traditions.
