Border حاشیه
The border (hashiyeh) is the band of patterned stripes framing the field. Persian rugs usually have three or more: a wide main border with narrower minor borders on either side, separated by guards. Hashiyeh means the border; the selvedge, the finished long edge, is shirazeh in Persian.
