Moroccan Islamic patterns






Above: The same star pattern seen in 4 different contexts. This was something that kept re-occuring.





Blue and white is a common colour combination in the tile work. This pattern can appear quite jumbled and like a random scattering of squares. But when you squint you can see perfectly shaped diamonds. It has many different dimensions, as have the majority of the Islamic patterns.
