craftwork.

highly complex geometrical patterns of multi colored
tiles from Fez.
This painstaking time-consuming process can be performed only by the
finest
Zellige mastersin Fez who practice the Moroccan Art of
intricate mosaic designs with hand-cut tiles.
Stunning geometric designs of
Moorish tiles called zillige adorn floors and walls of Moroccan courtyards, houses and fountains, and create a decorative surface like no other. The motifs used in the zilliges are complex and abstract, and use traditional patterns which usually involve geometrical interlacing radiating from a central star. The techniques of the craftsmen are ancient, passed down and perfected from generation to generation.
