This hall is dedicated to ᛗᛖᚦᚢᚱᛟᛚ geometric art, primarily from the ᛚᛟᚾᚢᚦ region. The ᛗᛖᚦᚢᚱᛟᛚ people primarily worked with tiled mosaics, which were difficult to preserve well. The pieces here are displayed alongside contemporary recreations.
This piece comes from the public debate hall of a ᛗᛖᚦᚢᚱᛟᛚian settlement. Its use of different shades of blue in a checkerboard pattern is likely intended to invoke the choppy seas found to the south of its site. The concentric circular pattern in the center is a common depiction of the ᛗᛖᚦᚢᚱᛟᛚ people themselves. The yellow dyes especially have faded with time, and you can see in the recreation how they would have appeared at the time.
This piece was recovered from a collapsed university in ᚢᚱᚢᚦᚨᛜ, where it decorated the ceiling of the main lecture hall. The brightly colored stripes and circles are typical of ᛗᛖᚦᚢᚱᛟᛚ pieces. This piece has been less weathered by time, but you can still see where a section of the mural was crushed. The reconstruction has extrapolated that section based on fragments found near the site and the patterns in the other corners.
The remainder of our ᛗᛖᚦᚢᚱᛟᛚ exhibit is still under construction; please return at a later time to see our other artworks.
