Description

A pointed multifoil arch is an arch that is characterized by its pointed shape and multiple lobes. The lobes are typically circular or leaf-shaped, and they are cut into the interior profile of the arch. The pointed multifoil arch is a common feature in Islamic architecture, and it can be found in many mosques, palaces, and other buildings. The pointed multifoil arch is thought to have originated in the Middle East, and it was later adopted by other cultures, such as the Moors in Spain. The arch is often used for decorative purposes, but it can also be used for structural purposes
