 The Protective Amulet (Hijab / حجاب): The nested geometric squares surrounding each Qars motif traditionally act as protective amulets to guard against harm and bring blessings to the wearer.

 The Road Border (Tareeq / طريق): The continuous geometric zigzag framing the central panel represents historic trade routes, connection, and life journeys.

 The Feather Edge (Reesh / ريش): The fine, angled feather stitching along the panel borders and outer wing edges adds soft detail, symbolising lightness, grace, and freedom.
