Tiles with deeply carved geometric designs glazed in one or more colors are typical of buildings in Bukhara and Samarqand of the second half of the fourteenth century. A simplified pattern can be read by focusing on the large dark-colored octagon motifs: repeated twice, they each contain an eight-pointed star with a four-petaled rosette in the center. The interlaced design in turquoise, however, is at the heart of this spirited and succesful architectural decorative element, which is based on half-octagons with two open sides. The intricacy of the pattern seems intentionally to defy a proper geometric interpretation, allowing the eye to wonder and the observer to wonder if a metaphysical explanation should be sought instead..
