Mamluk Nine and Twelve Stars, Plate III
Nine-point and twelve-point stars, an unusual pairing found in Mamluk work: odd and even symmetry held in one interlace.
The pattern is constructed exactly, the way star patterns are built with compass and straightedge, and composed as a finished plate: the field is centred on its main rosette and cropped on its own lines of symmetry, inside a small star-and-cross border, with a printed margin and caption. Two colourways: gold on indigo (gilded strapwork on deep indigo, the focal stars in madder red), or lapis on vellum (lapis, malachite and madder pigments on warm vellum, the focal stars gilded).
Plate III of eight in a series of geometric star patterns, from Kashan star-and-cross tilework to a Penrose ten-fold pattern. Every plate shares the same frame, so any two or three hang together as a set: Kashan Star and Cross, Twelve and Eight Stars, Twelve and Six Stars, Eighteen and Twelve Stars, Ten-fold Quasicrystal, Twelve-fold Quasicrystal, Penrose Ten-fold. Prefer to use the patterns yourself? The Geometric Star Pattern Pack has all eight as wallpapers, seamless tiles and SVG.

Common Questions
Your choice. Framed arrives ready to hang in a matte black wood frame (0.75 in thick) with a clear acrylic front and hanging hardware. The print fills the frame with no mat: the printed margin and caption around the plate do that job. Print ships unframed and fits a standard ready-made frame of the same size.
A museum-quality matte poster paper (189 g/m²) with archival inks. The matte surface keeps the painted texture and fine lines crisp without glare.
No. The gold is printed as a warm ochre with a soft painted sheen, the way gilding reads in a printed book plate. It is not foil or metallic ink.
The plate keeps the same proportions: the border, margin and caption scale with the sheet, and the pattern keeps the same scale across the width. The 24 × 36 is a taller sheet, so its field shows more rows of the pattern. Pick a size above to see it to scale on a wall.
Each print is made to order (framed ones are framed by hand) and usually ships within 2–5 business days, then about 3–7 days in transit within the US. US shipping is free.
