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.
