Joshaghan design جوشقان
The Joshaghan design, named after the carpet district of Jowshaqan north-west of Isfahan, is a geometric lattice of diamond-shaped compartments, each holding a stylised flowering shrub or spray, with or without a medallion. Iranica describes the district's designs since the late 19th century as geometric, sometimes without a medallion, and conservative.
