Carpet design
[edit]I removed
- * A motif in a Turkish rug
bcz the target article makes no mention of the word "gul". However, Flag of Turkmenistan, Konya carpets, Oriental carpets in Renaissance painting, and Persian carpet mention them,
and Navajo rug attributes their use to imitation of Caucasus traditions. There are plenty of unreliable sources, presumably starting from the ignorance of Renaissance Europeans who called all oriental carpets "Turkish" bcz they bought them in Anatolia (modern Turkey), tho for all i have been convinced, carpets designed or produced much further east may have been often involved. I'm starting gul (design) and replacing that entry for now, but appealing to others to do a better job on it, especially weighing relative reliability of sources that other articles cite.

- I forgot that i was led to create this via this entry at the Dab Elephant's foot:
- * Elephant's foot (design), a geometrical design common in Turkomen rugs ("Bukhara rugs") and adapted to some Indian, Pakistani and Iranian rugs, also called Fil Pah
- They are described elsewhere as an instance or synonym for gul.
