Girih(knot) also written gereh are decorative Islamic geometric patterns used in architecture and handicraft objects, consisting of angled lines that form an interlaced strapwork pattern. Girih-chini refers to two related techniques of woodworking: either a lattice frame, which could be left plain or filled with wooden inserts, colored glass, or other materials and was used for balustrades and window screens; or a mosaic panel, composed of hexagons, stars, and other geometric shapes and used to decorate the mosques, palaces, and private houses.
