Abadeh rugs are known for the [[Heybatlu Design|Heybatlu]]  design- a single diamond-shaped medallion in the center and four smaller medallions at each corner. This very distinctive design has virtually remained unchanged for decades. The medallion on Abadeh rugs encloses a number of stylized, geometrical animal, flower, and bird patterns. Stylized tree of life motifs emanate from the center rosette and the spandrels, while many small geometric motifs are interspersed throughout the field and medallion.
