Carpet tile

This tile was commissioned for the Bristol Jamia Mosque. Tiles like these are repeated throughout the mosque so that this bright and colourful pattern covers most of the floor. It carries appropriate images much like the tiles that were commissioned for the floors of medieval churches and chapels.
