thumb|A sebka motif on Hassan Tower in [[Rabat, Morocco, (late 12th century)]] Sebka () refers to a type of decorative motif used in western Islamic ("Moorish") architecture and Mudéjar architecture.
== History and description == Various types of interlacing rhombus-like motifs are heavily featured on the surfaces of minarets and other architectural elements in Morocco and al-Andalus during the Almohad period (12th–13th centuries). They continued to spread to other decorative mediums such as carved stucco over the walls of various buildings in Marinid and Nasrid architecture, eventually becoming a standard feature in the western Islamic ornamental repertoire, often in combination with arabesque elements.
