Next, I wondered how
the Chinese maze pattern might look with a mid-line
throughout, and was struck by the result as being almost
identical to the classical Irish
motif, as illustrated in this
figure.
This maze is
less-coiled than
the example derived from the Oriental pattern shown on the
previous page.
Variations can be produced by winding the path around more or
fewer times,
or by introducing more than one branch in the path. The
narrower the path,
the more room there is for elaboration.
