Zarkhana Buta – Pendant

Description

Buta is the most ancient and liked Oriental motif and the name most likely derives from the Persian “boteh”, which means a shrub that looks like a thistle.
Buta constitutes a fascinating example of how a basic idea can be interpreted in a variety of ways by different cultures. 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, to give someone a piece decorated with buta is akin to wishing long life and lasting memory.
