The arabesque originally developed from Assyrian tendril ornaments and came to Europe in the 16th century with Moorish art via Spain. The motif of the arabesque consisted mostly of artistically intertwined lines of stylised plant tendrils.
Impressive arabesques can be found, for example, in the halls of the Alhambra in Granada. Arabesques also found their way into heraldry - while simple regular figures such as crosses and meanders were common in the Middle Ages, sweeping and ornate tendril designs became more and more popular in the Renaissance.
