Saed News: If the girl's response after the proposal was positive, they would weave a carpet with a lion design where the tail is raised and send it to the person! A lion with a lowered tail in the carpet symbolized a negative response.
According to Saad News and quoting Ekona Press:
Each ethnic group conducts proposals in its own unique way, and the bride's family also responds to the suitor in a specific manner. These days, all ethnic groups have moved towards urban life, and the old traditions play a lesser role in how the response to a proposal is given. One of these methods was used by the Qashqai girls, who would give their answer through art.
If the girl's response after the proposal was positive, they would weave a carpet with a lion design, where the tail is raised, and send it to the suitor! A lion with a lowered tail in the carpet symbolized a negative response.
