"Moresque No. 3" is a design plate created by Owen Jones in 1856.

Jones was a renowned architect and designer who travelled extensively, documenting and popularizing these decorative styles during the Victorian era. This work is a testament to the enduring influence of Moorish design on Western art and architecture. This plate would have been used as inspiration for decorative arts like wallpaper and textiles, and is a valuable resource for understanding the complexity and beauty of traditional Moorish patterns.
