Rugs from Khorasan, Northeast Iran, are among the most appreciated creations by rug lovers. The "garden" or "four seasons" motif, which was originally made on the "tabriz" during the Safavid dynasty (1501-1732), and more precisely during the reign of Shah Abbas (1588-1629), is found on the "bakthiar", the "ghoum" as well as on the "moud".

*Boteh: An ancient motif with different meanings. It can represent the transformation of Zoroaster into a cypress, symbol of eternity, but also into a drop of water, a palm tree, or a tree. The term 'boteh' means "flowering bush" in Persian. There is a similarity with yin and yang.
