Moresco

/ məˈrɛskəʊ /

noun

Mr. Calvert has given a very complete account of the evolution of Moresco art.

"I am Pietro Moresco," he boasted, many times, as if the very name should awe the world.

From towers, turreted like a Moresco castle, they heard the night-watchers proclaiming the hour.

The woodwork, when white, is elaborated in Moresco carving—when oak and walnut, it is heavily moulded.

The trouble is that Moresco isn't satisfied so easily; he wants me to make changes in the part.
