Qobadkhani (Boteh Qobadkhani)

Qobadkhani, or Boteh Qobadkhani, is a bazaar name for a boteh field on some Qashqai rugs. The boteh is drawn as an upright, symmetrical flowering bush rather than a teardrop: a stem with a rounded head, short side branches ending in small lozenges and a pointed crown, repeated in offset rows.
