The Topkapi Scroll: Geometry and Ornament in Islamic Architecture

Istanbul - Turkey

The Topkapi Scroll is a Timurid dynasty pattern scroll in the collection of the Topkapi Palace museum.

The scroll is a valuable source of information, consisting of 114 patterns that may have been used both indirectly and directly by architects to create the tiling patterns in many mosques around the world, including the quasicrystal Girih tilings from Darb-e Imam.
