Intricate blue and gold decorative tiles feature geometric patterns and Arabic calligraphy. The upper section displays a repeating diamond motif with Arabic script inside, surrounded by star-like shapes. Below is a band of stylized Arabic calligraphy in bold gold, set against a blue background. The design exemplifies Islamic art's emphasis on geometric and abstract forms, often used in architecture to evoke harmony and beauty. This type of decor is typical in historical Islamic structures.
