Zig-Zags A.k.a Chevrons on Walls

By Vsudarsan

Chevrons, also known as Zig-Zags, are inverted "V" shaped patterns. I believe the first chevron patterns were found in pottery thousands of years ago. Here are a few examples -- a salt cellar, water jug and a bowl crafted around 1800 BC. I'm not sure where these are from, but these patterns were found all over the world around this time period.
