One of the famous rugs with the S Meander minor border is from the Alaeddin Mosque in Konya. I have been unable to find a good image of the rug so I borrowed Gerard Paquin's image from http://www.iath.virginia.edu/~jmu2m/gp/GP.htm Unfortunately it does not show the full border so I also took the black and white image from Kurt Erdmann Seven Hundred Years of Oriental Carpets. The image above is from Hali and the images below is from Prince William of Sweden.

The Seljuk were Ohguz Turkmen close related to the Ersari of Afghanistan and Uzbekistan.

Thanks and best wishes,
