As we did in our earlier booklets, here we also study some ornamental mathematics of the Eurasian
people. On the back side of the mirror there are friezes arranged in circular form (Fig 4. and 5.). On belt
buckles and mounts, on horse-mounts and on dresses such ornements rich double and plane symmetry
patterns, (and even composite plane symmetry patterns) occur. The author first described a duoblefrieze
of t-mg type from China, on a bronze vessel (Fig. 6.). We also show the most simple double friezes
int he booklet, too.

East-Asian art exhibits a rich layered structure. The changes on one of the main lines can be shown by
the animal fight scene: first they are naturally formulated, later they loose their dramatic character and
transform to hunting scenes (like as the first warriors change and transform to country leaders). On the
animal crowds of the Nara vessel (Fig. 7.) no fight is visible. The final hegemony and centralized force of
the Chinese emperor can be visualized best on the backside cover image of a dragon ruling in the picture
and even tiger and other water and air animals are only dependants in the strong state (Fig. 2.).
However, the emperor states of Japan, China, Korea, Mandsuria and Mongolia, once or more in their
history became donators of art of the state. This is another age of cultures, these represent more modern
civilisations.
Anyway, the rich traditions helped to preserve remnants of this colorful, art-rich world for us and the
studies of the Eurasian arts also help us to survive modern life monotonies. Such study of the Eastern-
Asian Arts in this booklet, we hope, give joy and amusement, good work and good thinking to our
fellow who prefer art and mathematics, or art alone, with coloring the images and thinking the fate and
destiny of old peoples, old nations, old tarditions.
