Aziza Iqbal - Sultan Hassan Series

While historical photographs of this source haven't been found, the pattern is allegedly in Cairo, at the Sultan Hassan madrassa (1356-61 AD / 757-62 AH), and most likely a wooden lattice screen.

From my early days of studying geometry, I first saw this pattern in Hasret Brown's gorgeous painting 'Star Soul' and it became an instant favourite. I attempted Issam El Said's analysis, ticked it off my to-do list, and since then I've recreated, refined and painted this pattern a record number of times (six) and never found myself bored of it. It was also the subject of the first geometry workshop I ever taught in 2015.

This pattern also appears in Iran and Central Asia as a wooden lattice and iron/stained glass orosi-sazi screen.

You can learn to draw this pattern from Samira Mian's tutorial
