Amazing Islamic Art

The Islamic art here is stunning. There are no people or animals depicted, and so Islamic art simply uses repetitive geometric shapes. These can be painted, carved or assembled as a mosaic. The overall effect is amazing.

Here are some examples of art we have discovered, mostly from wandering around Marrakech… although two photos are of our ceiling at home!
