There are many of the patterns that are directly taken from older Islamic ones. This beautiful limestone carving is made to stamp/emboss leather, dated from the 12th century. A leather wallet, also from 12th century Afghanistan, used the technique. Both items in the David Collection in Copenhagen. https://www.davidmus.dk/islamisk-samling/sten-og-stuk/item/123 https://www.davidmus.dk/islamisk-samling/tekstiler-taepper-og-laeder/item/128?culture=da-dk
