Moghul Art
Hexagram inside a hexagon in a latticework in the Humayun's Tomb
in Delhi, India.
A few days ago I saw a film about the Moghul dynesty which ruled India until 1857 - there were times when they were the richest rulers in the world. These are the guys behind the Taj Mahal...and they loved hexagrams. I hope to find more photos of their superb hexagrams.

I read in Hebrew on

that the Moghuls considered the hexagram as a sign of ruling because of its connection to Solomon - the Seal of Solomon...
