Description
Buta is the most liked Oriental motif and the name most likely derives from the Persian “boteh”, which means a shrub that looks like a thistle. The meaning of buta is interpreted in various ways from pine cone to palm crown to flame, which had religious significance as a symbol of immanence and eternal life. Thus, according to the latter interpretation, to give someone a piece decorated with buta is akin to wishing long life and lasting memory.
