ARABIAN ORNAMENT. The twisted cord, the interlacing of lines, the crossing of two squaresA, the equilateral triangle arranged within a hexagon, are the starting-points in each; the main differences resulting in the scheme of colouring, with the material employed and the uses to which they were applied, mainly suggested.
