Each country has a civilized architectural heritage with a specific ornamental character where our decorative arts are but a mirror of the thought of the Arab-Islamic civilization and the philosophy of that Arab and Muslim artist that was created in the best pictures and shapes to include various aspects of architecture with its multiple components so the engraving was on wood and from it what tasted coincidences and ivory, as well as carving stone, marble , Plaster, and mastery of paving the bricks in the style of exclusive decoration ... etc. Among the decorative patterns of the stucco mother who must be emulated are the motifs of the Al-Mustansiriya School building in Baghdad in 631 AH.
