Boteh Jegheh - The Paisley

The Paisley (Boteh Jegheh in Persian) is a Zoroastrian/Iranian symbol of life and eternity.

A Pahlavan and Zurkhaneh practitioner is expected to be most of all humble and pure in thoughts, words and deeds.

The Paisley has come to symbolize the spiritual qualities of a Pahlavan as it 'bends it's head' in humility.
