The astrolabe is an example of Arabesque

Answer: Arabesque

The astrolabe is a device which is made for solving problems related to navigation and astronomy. The Islamic version of the astrolabe is used to find the direction of the Mecca. The direction of the Mecca is known as Qibla. History suggests that the first astrolabe was made during the eighth century. This astrolabe is made using arabesque- an Islamic art technique. Arabesque is the art of fusing lines or patterns which have a particular pace or flow in an artistic manner.
