I've seen Islamic art and decoration in Egypt.
It really is gorgeous.
When William Morris used it as a basis for one of hss many styles, he was careful to leave a tiny line somewhere on the animal (usually birds) to reflect the Muslim beief that not living animal should be depicted in art. Same reason for some of the extraordinary scultures in strictly Islamic countries.
