In the ornamental art of Islam, the six-pointed star is common, either as an independent sign or mingled with other ornamental signs, such as can be found in the marble walls or window screens of the Haram-al-Halil (Tomb of the Patriarchs, Hebron Mosque, of the Mameluke period); in the Turkish city wall of the Old City of Jerusalem at Stork's Tower and at the New Gate; and on Moslem coins of different countries and periods.
Quite an impressive and well preserved design of the six-pointed star can be seen above the Mikhrab (prayer niche) in the mosque building from the Mameluk period in Ashkelon
