What kind of motif do we have in our traditional pha-sin's

As I was reviewing the different tai cultures, I saw how khamti, khamyang all had their own motifs, so I was wondering what about ours?

the peacock motifs is ours, the kingkhap motif is ours (though original kingkhap was slighly different than the current one) but most commonly known dai motifs are usually just geometric patterns... like there is no deep symbolism unlike floral for figurative designs, it is just a small geometric repeat pattern of some lines and polygons... such as this image

Polygon Motif
i call this the "polygon motif" (and yes ahom royals used to wear every color - red purple everything)
