Tessellations with Stars and Rosettes


Stars and rosettes are among the most characteristic geometric ornamental motifs of Islamic art. They are found on walls, ceilings, doors and windows in both religious and secular buildings.

Tessellations are repetitive patterns of shapes that fit together without gaps or overlaps. Tessellations with stars and rosettes are complex and symmetrical compositions with rhythmic repetitions of profound beauty.
