Arabesques and curvilinear designs woven on fabrics, painted on adornments and constructed in architectural monuments in the plastic arts of the maritime Malays in southeast Asia are important parameters for new studies in dance aesthetics. There lies the potential for in-depth studies of the synchronisation of borrowed (Islamic) and indigenous arts in the dance cultures of maritime Malays. Islamic arabesques and Malay curvilinear designs in the visual art echo similar virtues of infinite form that seemingly continues and multiplies in space and time from a single point such as a dot in space. The infinity of God underlines the artistic parameters of Malay-Islamic art while the lines, angles, squares, hexagons, foliages and twisting trunks are the means to quantify spatial horizons, vertical and horizontal spaces.
