📌 Eight-pointed / star patterns: symbolize the sun, life, and rebirth
📌 Rhombuses: fertility, balance, and protection
📌 Triangles: unity and cosmic harmony (later also associated with the Holy Trinity)
📌 Mesh patterns (“net”): traditionally believed to “filter” negative energy

- Black: stability, continuity, eternity
