Sivas and Malatya
Both muqarnas are using the same basic tiling of squares and rhombuses around a half 8-pointed star. But the realisation is different.
- The tiling doesn't fit with the edges so additional tiles are needed. The solution in Sivas differs from the one in Malatya.
- In Sivas the lines marking the layers always follow the edges of the squares. In Malatya the red line defnine combinations of large bipeds and jugs.
- In both muqarnas we can find the combination of small bipeds and almonds, but the alternation is different.
Now we fill in the plan of Malatya with tiles:
