Decorations on arms of Central Asia

[Mercenary]

My research showed that the starting point was Chinese ceramics of the 14th and 15th centuries, and later porcelain supplied to Iran and beyond. After Iran, this element independently appears in the Deccan and India (not through porcelain), in the Caucasus and in Europe (through porcelain).

Based on this element, ornaments appeared that were also placed along the edge of anything, along the perimeter, etc.

In the original it is a chrysanthemum

By the way, one more fact. Quite quickly, real Chinese porcelain began to remain in Iran, and instead, Iranian copies began to be supplied to Europe. But Europe developed its own high art, but Central Asia, after separation from India, did not.
