Buta (ornament)
The boteh (Persian: بته), is an almond or pine cone-shaped motif in ornament with a sharp-curved upper end.[1] Though of Persian origin, it is very common and called buta in India, Azerbaijan, Turkey and other countries of the Near East.[1] Via Kashmir shawls it spread to Europe at least in 19th century, where patterns using it are known since 1960s as paisleys, as Paisley, Renfrewshire in Scotland was a major centre making them.
In Asian ornament, the boteh motifs are typically placed in orderly rows, though especially in India they may appear in a pattern in a variety of sizes, colours, and orientations, which is also characteristic of European paisley patterns.
