===Motifs and Designs===

===Motifs and Designs===

The designs are geometric and strongly influenced by Lori patterns. The designs are allover or medallion in style. The allover pattern generally has square compartments featuring palmettes or diamond shapes edged by Hook motifs surrounded by tribal design elements. The medallion style has several lozenge or hexagonal shapes also edged by hooks. The medallions are placed on a field, at times surrounded by tribal motifs and flower heads. The main border design generally has alternating polychrome palmettes, leaves, or vines.<ref>Moheban, 2015, 618</ref> These rugs include motifs of the [[Qashqai Rug|Qashqa’i]], Lurs and Khamseh. Three stacked latchhook diamond medallions are typical.<ref>Stone, 2013, 309</ref>
