Zellige

Zellige is a traditional Moroccan art form that involves the intricate assembly of colorful, hand-cut ceramic tiles to create decorative mosaics. These tiles, often geometric and colorful, are arranged to form elaborate patterns, commonly found in architecture, fountains, and courtyards. The craftsmanship requires great skill, as each tile is meticulously fitted together without the use of grout. Zellige not only showcases the aesthetic beauty of Moroccan culture but also reflects its rich history and craftsmanship. It has become a significant element of Islamic art, emphasizing symmetry and design.
