Notes d'archéologie musulmane ..
Gaston Migeon's 1905 French study of Islamic archaeology, a scholarly notebook of object photographs and commentary aimed at specialists in Muslim art. The plates show a Mesopotamian 12th-century ceramic fragment with a bird and animal relief, a 13th-century Arabic bronze animal figure, a stone angel relief, and a domed bronze vessel with arched fluting. A designer could take from them the interlaced knotwork and arcade patterns, and the crisp, low-contrast relief lighting of carved and cast surfaces.
