| Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.Geometric
interlacing patterns are a subcategory of Islamic pattern and ornament.
They can be considered a particular type of arabesque which developed
from the rich interlace patterning of the Byzantine Empire.. One of the
first Western studies of the subject was E. H. Hankin's "The Drawing of
Geometric Patterns in Saracenic Art", published in Memoirs of the
Archaeological Societry of India in 1925. According to Eva Baer, in her
book Islamic Ornament: ....the intricate interlacings common in later
medieval Islamic art, are already prefigured in Umayyad architecture
revetments: in floor mosaics, window grilles, stone and stucco carvings
and wall paintings(Khirbat al- Mafjar, Qusayr'Amra, Qasr al-Hayr
al-Gharbi etc.), and in the decoration of a whole group of early east
Iranian, eighth- to tenth-century metal objects. Examples of geometric
interlacing can also be found in Arabic calligraphy, particularly
designs made in in the Square Kufic style. |
