Faience Tiles | Shah Mosque (Imam Mosque) / Isfahan / Iran
$75.00 – $350.00
On this panel in the Shah Mosque in Isfahan, Iran, ten-pointed stars (none of them shown completely) anchor the edges of a pattern in which four of the five girih shapes can be found. Both the stars and the scallop-edged hexagons are placed according to an underlying design of still more decagons and pentagons. The stars’ incompleteness reminds the viewer that the pattern actually extends into infinity.
