Tessilations





The zillij tilework of Morocco is well known but one of the more attractive aspects of a wander is to look down at the boring grey you are walking on. They eschew boring plain rectagonal pavers, or, if they do use them add pattern, in favour of fairly elaborate tessilating blocks. If they do have to use rectangles they will use elaborate laying patterns. Pattern for pattern's sake.
