- Gul - A gul is a motif commonly used in Oriental carpets, originally based on a rose, usually of stylised geometric (octagonal) form. The different tribes each have their own versions of the gul, enabling association of a rug with a particular tribal area.
- Mihrab - A mihrab is a conventional motif in Islamic rugs based on a prayer niche or mosque arch, which can be almost realistic or extremely abstract. It is the basic design element in the prayer rug.
