摘要：This paper investigates the twelve-pointed star polygon designs illustrated in Bourgoin’s Arabic Geometrical Pattern and Design and found as ornament on extant Islamic monuments in Cairo. Fifteen highly symmetric patterns from the Mamluk period, exhibiting either four-fold or six-fold rotational symmetry with multiple mirror reflections, were identified. Seven of the designs may be classified as p4m patterns while the remaining eight may be classified as p6m. Seven of the patterns contain only large twelve-pointed stars, while the other eight had twelve-stars in combination with seven-, eight-, nine- or sixteen-pointed stars.
