Ornamentation of the underlying form: As seen in the above example of shekaste calligraphy, in one style of ornamentation, the words themselves are ornamented. The text loses its archetypal form, and is restated in the manner of the artists choosing. In fact, in this style, the ornament and the essence of the word become one and the same. In the realm of music too, one observes instances in which the artist separates the music from its underlying form; recreating it in his/her own idiosyncratic and ornamented vision (e.g. in the cheharmazrab).
