Ergative Absolutive

I have completed an Art! This is an early 16th century Iznik design modeled from a tile in the Topkapi Palace in Istanbul, featured as Pattern Study 3 in Esra Almahal's superb book on Islamic Biomorphic patterns.

Holbein gouache (CMY pallette ftw!) on Arches cold-pressed watercolor paper.
