Islamic art, theme of terracotta crafts, presents a
certain stylistic unity, owing to the mobility of
artists, merchants, rulers, and the works themselves.

world, and the particular value placed upon calligraphy,
assisted in reinforcing this unity of style.

Architecture
Perhaps the most important expression of Islamic art,
theme of terracotta crafts, is architecture,
particularly that of the mosque (four-iwan and
hypostyle)."Islam", The New Encyclopedia Britannica
(2005) Through the edifices, the effect of varying
cultures within Islamic civilization can be illustrated.
The North African and Spanish Islamic architecture, for
example, has Roman-Byzantine elements, as seen in the
Alhambra palace at Granada, or in the Great Mosque of
Cordoba.
The role of domes in Islamic architecture has been
considerable. Domes have been used in Islamic
architecture for centuries. The earliest surviving dome
is part of the Dome of the Rock mosque, built in 691 CE.
Another prominent dome was added to the Taj Mahal,
constructed in the 17th century with the Taj Mahal. And
as late as the 19th century, Islamic domes were
incorporated into Western architecture.O. Grabar (2006),
p.87Ettinghausen (2003), p.87
Calligraphy
Calligraphic design is omnipresent in Islamic art, theme
of terracotta crafts,, and is usually expressed in a mix
of Qur'anic verses and historical proclamations. Two of
the main scripts involved are the symbolic kufic and
naskh scripts, which can be found adorning and enhancing
the visual appeal of the walls and domes of buildings,
the sides of minbars, and so on. Illuminated scripts,
coinage, and other "minor art" pieces such as ewers and
incense holders are also often decorated with
calligraphy.
Pile carpet
No Islamic art, theme of terracotta crafts,istic concept
has become better known outside its original home than
the pile carpet, more commonly referred to as the
Oriental carpet (oriental rug). Their versatility is
utilized in everyday Islamic and Muslim life, from floor
coverings to architectural enrichment, from cushions to
bolsters to bags and sacks of all shapes and sizes, and
to religious objects (such as a prayer rug, which would
provide a clean place to pray). Carpet weaving is a rich
and deeply embedded tradition is Islamic societies, and
the practice is seen in cities as well as in rural
communities and nomadic encampments. In older times,
special establishments and workshops were in existence
that functioned directly under court patronage in
Islamic lands. Davies, Penelope J.E. Denny, Walter B.
Hofrichter, Frima Fox. Jacobs, Joseph. Roberts, Ann M.
