Six-Fold Rosette

No. 21 of 100 · free · 300 dpi

What you seeA six-petalled rosette in lapis and blue, drawn on a pale sky ground with its full construction: the first circle, six circles of the same radius centred on its rim, the hexagon and hexagram that join their centres, and the compass points marked in terracotta.

What it meansStepping a compass set to the radius round its own circle divides it into six, the first move in almost every Islamic geometric design. The six arcs drawn from those points form the rosette from which six-fold star patterns grow.

Where it worksA calm, precise plate for a study, a hallway or a pair with the twelve-fold rosette.
