Islamic artifacts are objects created within the context of Islamic culture and religion, often reflecting the artistic traditions of various regions. These artifacts can include items such as ceramics, textiles, calligraphy, and metalwork, showcasing intricate designs and patterns that are often inspired by geometric shapes and floral motifs. Many Islamic artifacts also serve functional purposes, such as mosque lamps or prayer rugs, while others are purely decorative. They often feature verses from the Quran or representations of nature, adhering to the Islamic principle of aniconism, which discourages the depiction of human figures in art.
