Intricate and beautiful Turkic carpet designs

The image displays a grid of 16 distinct geometric and symbolic patterns, each labeled with a number from 1 to 16. These designs, rendered in various colors and styles, are traditional ornamentation from different Turkic and related ethnic groups. Below the grid, a caption in Azerbaijani identifies each pattern as a symbolic variant of the Tengri Khan's 'açaları' (likely referring to a specific type of traditional ornament or emblem) found in textiles and embroidery from Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan, Nirkman, Kazakhs, Uzbeks, Niva, Bashkirs, Chuvash, Yakuts, Balkars, Kara-Chays, Khakas, and Ukrainian Kazakhs. The patterns are mostly symmetrical, featuring crosses, diamonds, and swirling motifs.
