#19 Al Salih Talai Masjid - How to draw Islamic Geometry - زخارف اسلامية هندسية

This pattern is from Al Salih Talai Masjid in Cairo, Egypt. The masjid was built in the Fatimid era, 1160. However this pattern is from the Minbar, which I believe dates from the Mamluk era, around 1300, if anyone can verify this please do let me know. I love twelvefold rosettes and this pattern uses parallel lines of double width, which gives a beautiful variation of the typical parallel sided petals/safts.
