The field is composed of large stylized flowers tied with vivacity.
They are colored and tied with a very great application of symmetry, medallions, decorations, spandrels. ## Sown in the field and neighboring with the other graceful plant figures, "boteh-e-miri", princely flowers are also found in the main border which surrounds the whole.
