French to English Art/Literary Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting Persian miniatures

Hello,
This is from a text about a well-know jeweller who drew inspiration from Oriental art in his creations.

In the sentence below, I do not understand the meaning of "médaillons". From what I gather, Persian miniatures often illustrated stories, and sometimes had a decorative border featuring arabesques. This same type of pattern could theoretically be found on rugs as well. Is that what the author might be referring to? Any insight much appreciated!

Le joaillier reproduit notamment des motifs de grilles islamiques ainsi que les médaillons aux arabesques fluides de tapis ou miniatures persanes.
