# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Islamic Geometric Pattern: Star shapes pasted together without the construction leave lines that miss at the crossings, and the error multiplies when repeated. The Islamic world is not one culture, so check region, dynasty, material and use.
# - Iznik Pottery: Tiling the ornament flat loses the logic of the vessel. The handling of the curve and the rim is the pivot of the style.
