Textile Fragment
Not on view
Geometric designs such as the ones in this fragment are found ornamenting a wide variety of media produced in Nasrid period (1232–1492) Spain, including tile work, woodwork, book binding, and painted stucco. The basic principle of the design is an eight-pointed star, and this pattern expands into a lattice of geometric possibilities. Such bold designs recall the famous wall patterns in the Alhambra palace in Granada.
