The decorative arts in Islam are marked by a remarkable degree of
stylistic consistency which has been applied to a broad range of materials, each of
which had a craft-base of its own, the history of which often traces back to preIslamic times. The stylistic coherence within the Islamic world and the many
variations of its basic themes across time, influenced as they were by local artistic
traditions, are all part of the fascination of this art. In Muslim architecture virtually
any surface may be regarded as worthy of receiving elaborate decoration and this
is particularly apparent in religious architecture, but this principle extends out to
woodwork, ceramics, textiles, metalwork, books and many other art forms There
