سبک سوم سامرا (به انگلیسی The Third Samarra Style) که اسلوب پخی
دار (Beveled
Style) هم نامیده می
شود شیوه ای از تزئینات اسلامی است که در دوره طولونیان در مصر
ابداع شد شیوه ساده تر شده از گچ بری است که در پوشاندن سطوح گسترده دیوار ها کار
می گرفتند. خانم شیلا بلر در مقایسه این
سه سبک و ویژگی های تزئین هر یک چنین گوید:
The first style is a carved technique
that was clearly derived from the geometricized vegetal decoration that had
been widely used in the Umayyad period. The decorative field is divided by
pearl bands into compartments filled with vines, which, unlike the vines at
Raqqa, have no grapes. The vine leaves have five lobes separated by four
eye-like holes, and stand out against a dark, deeply carved ground. The second
style, also carved, is characterized by the use of cross-hatching for surface
details. Subjects are somewhat simplified but are still distinguished from the
background and enclosed within compartments. The leaves do not “grow”
naturalistically from a vine but have become abstract forms. The third style,
also known as the “beveled” style, is a molded technique especially suitable
for covering large wall surfaces quickly. It uses a distinctively slanted but
relatively shallow cut, which allowed the plaster to be released easily from
the mold. Decoration in the beveled style is distinguished by rhythmic and
symmetrical repetitions of curved lines ending in spirals that form abstract
patterns — including bottle-shaped motifs, trefoils, palmettes, and spirals- in
which the traditional distinction between the subject and background of the
decoration has been dissolved. The beveled style was undoubtedly developed for
stucco, but it was also applied to wood, which was used for doors and other
architectural fittings. It is perhaps the most original contribution of Samarra
decorators to the development of Islamic art, for the geometricized vegetal
subjects and the quality of infinite extendibility are key elements in the
arabesque decorative scheme. Islamic Architecture – Abbasid Period
