Islamic Art And Culture
“Islamic art” is a label coined in the West in the nineteenth century. Unlike “Christian art” or “Buddhist art,” it does not describe art with a particular set of religious imagery. In fact, Islamic art has few exclusively religious symbols comparable to the Christian cross. Instead, the term “Islamic art” designates all art, religious or secular, that was produced in lands under Muslim leadership.
