I don't know what to use them for either. Interesting. If I knew anything about Islam, perhaps I'd know better what to do with them.

Islam , as some Cristian groups in the past, forbid the representation of God , and of whatever God may have created

Now this is usually enforced only within the Holy places, but is the reason why Islam visual art was focused on decoration , decorative patterns, and calligraphic artworks and why they excelled in that fields

Now those designs make perfect sense.

Thank you for your explanation, PhotoComix. :hi5

Just as a slightly related topic, I like Taprats and it does a pretty good job at creating variations to this theme.

I learn something new every day! Learning about different cultures and religions is a good thing!
