Itmad ud Daulah - Tomb Upper Wall
The tomb of Itmad ud Daulah, Agra · 1622–28
93 tiles
One hexagon tile, repeated. Each tile holds a large hexagon with a six-petal flower at its centre. The sides of the hexagon run on in straight lines until they meet the lines from the next tile. Where two tiles meet, the lines pinch into a black bowtie; where three meet, a small orange hexagon is left between them. The large hexagons are colored at random from four browns, from deep red-brown to pale tan, in the same mix as the natural stone on the original panel.
