This kind of geometrical motif would have been very common in the Islamic reign of Egypt, which was conquered by the Arabs in 642 AD.

Coptic textiles, whose production began in the 3rd and 4th centuries AD in Egypt, were hand woven with unbleached linen warps and dyed wool wefts. This beautiful Coptic textile managed to survive thanks to the dry and hot desert climate.
