Characteristic for a Mir is the contemporary design, called Boteh or Paisley pattern, a drop-shape with points in one direction. A Mir often has a continuous pattern, but some have medallions and corner patterns. Mir carpets are durable rugs made of wool on a cotton warp; they often are thick, full carpets with a particularly high durability. Later on, Mir carpets were also made in India, in which case they're called oriental rugs.
