Carved stucco decoration and zellige tiles from courtyard of Ben Youssef Madrasa, Medina, Marrakech, Morroco. The stucco is carved in an Iraqi kufic style with repeated patterns of vegetal design. Below is zellige tilework, terracotta tiles covered with 5 colours of enamel and set into plaster, typical of the Hispano-Moresque period. The Madrasa is an Islamic theological college founded in the 14th century and rebuilt by the Saadians in the 1560s. It is named after the Almoravid Sultan Ali ibn Yusuf, who reigned 1106-42.
