Looking back at the Islamic Art exhibit during our visit to the Art Institute of Chicago:
12-pointed star. 12th century. Timurid Dynasty (1370-1507). Iran or Central Asia. Glazed fritware (Fritware, also known as Islamic stone-paste, is a type of pottery in which frit is added to clay to reduce its fusion temperature. As a result, the mixture can be fired at a lower temperature than clay alone.), cut and assembled as a mosaic.
