Octagons for October #4: Zilij Star

This article contains a lot of information about the eight-pointed star's origin, and of its use in Morroccan Zillij patterns. I used a picture about halfway down as a reference image.

 

These patterns are really quite fascinating-- I'd like to sit down and learn how to make them, one of these days.

 

I also ran across an applet that simulates these patterns to a certain extent. It's fascinating.
