Abstract

The tympanum of the entrance of the Zaoua Moulay Idriss II in Fez contains the only known example of a dodecagonal cartwheel quasiperiodic pattern in Islamic art, dating possibly from the Merinid epoch. This pattern, carved in a marble plate, is based on a type of Ammann quasilattice known also from modern mathematical literature. The central portions of this pattern were used as elements in a periodic pattern on the walls of the Saadian mausoleum in Marrakech.
