ملاحظات	The palace of Madinat al-Zahra, near CÃ³rdoba, was built after the Umayyad rulers of Spain assumed the title of caliph in 929. Its walls were decorated with plant designs. Court poetry of the period shows that abundant plants symbolised the realmâs fertility, which was ensured by the caliphâs just rule.
Tarihsel bağlam	The Umayyad rulers of Spain assumed the title of caliph, or rightful leader of the Muslim community, in 929. Shortly thereafter, in 936, the Umayyad caliph Abd al-Rahman III founded a palace complex near the city of CÃ³rdoba called Madinat al-Zahra. The walls of Madinat al-Zahra were decorated with plant designs, including this fragment of limestone ornament. Court poetry of the period shows that abundant plants symbolised the realmâs fertility, which was ensured by the caliphâs just rule. Patterns based on plants had been used long before the coming of Islam, and they continued to be popular throughout the Islamic period. Over time, the use of elements with recognisable plant forms (like the leaves seen here) gave way to more heavily stylised vegetal patterns. As time passed, the stylised element became dominant.
