(W Magazine, KSA August 2012 edition)
Intricate pointed stars and interlacing polygons are found painted, carved or engraved throughout Islamic Art and architecture. We find examples of stone, metal, wood, glass, leather and tile-work, in religious and secular buildings, textiles, carpet-weaving designs, as well as the borders and cabochons of illuminated manuscripts and Korans dating back to the eighth century.
