The borders of an oriental rug are made of series of bands
running along its perimeter, surrounding the field. The bands may number upto ten or more.
They usually consist of repeated motifs like flower, rosettes, stars and geometric motifs
etc. They occasionally may contain inscriptions in Persian, Armenian, Hebrew, Sanskrit,
Arabic or other scripts depicting poem, prayer, dedication or even the signature of the
weaver.
