Boteh mir (mir design) بته میری
Boteh mir, or the mir design, fills the field with small botehs in diagonal rows, their tips pointing alternately in opposite directions. It is the distinctive design of Saraband rugs, from the district south-west of Arak, and Persian also calls it the Sarabandi boteh. The main border usually carries a geometric vine of similar leaf forms.
