Girih
What you seeA full field of ten-fold girih pattern: cream strapwork weaving over and under through lapis ten-pointed stars, turquoise pentagons and terracotta and gold pieces, with the faint tile edges beneath. Below or beside it the five girih tiles are laid out as a key: decagon, pentagon, rhombus, elongated hexagon and bowtie.
What it meansGirih, Persian for knot, is the strapwork of medieval Persian and Central Asian architecture. Its patterns can be built from five tiles whose decorating lines always cross the edge midpoints at the same angle, so any arrangement joins seamlessly.
Where it worksA clear, graphic plate for a study, a library or a designer's desk.
