Great Islamic designs,
By
This review is from: Islamic Designs in Color (Dover Pictorial Archives) (Paperback)
To correct the previous reviewer, these designs are by no means Russian! Neither are they Arabic, but, as the name of the book states, they are Islamic. The designs were collected in Central Asia area, mainly in Bukhara, the center of ancient culture, and are the great sample of the wonderful art of the region.
