A stylized
rosette, enclosed in a diamond, with a serrated
"acanthus leaf" along each side, often used as a motif in the rug designs from the
Caspian region. The "leaf" may actually represent a fish and then the
pattern is also called the mahi (fish) design. The name comes from the
city of Herat in Northwestern Afghanistan (formerly the Persian
empire).
