🏛️ Zellij Pattern LoRA — Z-Image Turbo

Zellij (زليج) is Morocco's ancient mosaic art form—hand-chiseled geometric tiles assembled by master craftsmen (maalems) into infinite interlocking star patterns. This LoRA brings that visual language to Z-Image Turbo, faithfully wrapping any subject in genuine mosaic geometry and artisan textures.
