Other examples have only a central medallion standing out against a self-colored field. In these Bidjars the four quarters have a floral ornamentation. Bidjar borders are often composed of five bands, four narrow and one central wide one. The main band is often decorated with border boteh (stylized leaf-like floral symbols that often appear similar to a Paisley pattern), while the guards contain a succession of rosettes alternating with more stylized floral motifs.
