Abstract
Another large group of patterns similar to those introduced in Chap. 9 (octagonal patterns). A key property here is the presence of 10-pointed stars with a vertex angle of 72\(^\circ \) or 108\(^\circ \) as opposed to 8-pointed star with octogonal patterns. We saw that octogonal patterns came mainly from Spain and Morocco. Here, the patterns come mainly from Iran, Turkey or Egypt. As for the octagonal set, a few simple designs appear throughout the Islamic world.
