The Hamur pattern is the cloud pattern, also known as the nose pattern. The Mongolian full name is "Hamur He", which is one of the typical animal patterns of the Mongolian people. In Mongolian, "hamur" means nose. Because the shape of the hamur pattern is very similar to the nose of a cow, this type of pattern is called "Hamur He".
The Hamur pattern is also the basic pattern that forms many variations of the pattern in the various patterns of the Mongolian people, and has a profound impact on the establishment of the basic characteristics of the traditional pattern pattern of the Mongolian people. The Mongolian Hamur pattern has both a clumpy Hamur pattern that extends from a central point to the surrounding layers, as well as a realistic ordinary Hamur pattern, but the typical shape of the Hamur pattern in the Mongolian pattern pattern is a constituent element with a horn-shaped pattern. The hooked Hamur pattern, which is curled from a center to both sides, has almost become the most frequently used pattern in Mongolian patterns.
There are roughly four of the most common types of Hamur grain. The first is a pun on the hamur pattern, which consists of an uninterrupted line. This kind of hamur pattern is looking like a three-petal flower piece, but it has two corners, and the blank of the positive hamur pattern has become the pattern of the anti-hamur pattern, and the blank of the anti-hamur pattern has become the pattern of the positive hamur pattern. The second is a cow's nose-like hollow hamur pattern formed by a double line. There is also a cow's nose-like Hamur pattern, but it uses the method of hooking. The last one is the Hamur pattern that highlights the hooking method. The cloud horns on both sides become the center of the pattern, while the center point of the Hamur pattern remains only below the hook.
