@ngons Thanks, recreating the tiling made me appreciate the beauty of the original design and the skill of the artisans.

Also, I found out that my original photo didn't show a big enough area, so had to look online for that -- but I found a subtly different tiling in the Bahia Palace.

I'm not sure if my recreation is correct, or an amalgamation of the two tilings, or something else instead 😆
