Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern architecture, lattices were common in both domestic and sacred buildings. They served practical purposes, such as ventilation and light control, while also adding aesthetic value. Lattices could be made from various materials, including wood, metal, or stone, and were often intricately designed to reflect the craftsmanship of the period.
