The size of the design is 90 x 90 cm.

The history of this design dates back to about 697 years ago.

It is one of the marvelous decorations that adorn the Madrasa Al-Attarin (Al-Attarin School) in Fes, Morocco. This madrassa (school) was built between 1323 and 1325 by the Marinid Sultan Uthman II Abu Said (ruled 1310-1331).

Madrasah Attarine (Attarine = perfumer, spice dealer) is named after Souk Al-Attarine, a market for spices and perfumes. This ancient market is located next to the school.

Similar designs exist in other Islamic historical buildings such as palaces and mosques.

The pattern is made according to the Zellij method, which is a style of mosaic tilework made from individually hand-chiseled tile pieces.

This method of presenting Islamic geometric art is popular in the west of the Islamic World such as Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Andalusia.

We have prepared the blueprint for this design according to the original traditional method that uses circles and constructional lines to produce the geometric design, where the proportion between the angles of the shapes and the component elements is precisely geometrically controlled.
