Here are some of the designs on the ceilings of the palace building I live in. I live on FOB Danger which actually comprises Saddams old palace complex in Tikrit. Some of the buildings are pretty incredible, but as I try to show below everything looks awesome from far, until you get up close and see how it was really made. Still pretty cool to see.
Design work on the ceiling of the 20x20 ft room in the center of the building. This ceiling is about 50 ft high. Pretty stunning from far.

All this design work seems to be made out of a cheap plaster and painted over. Like everything else that I have seen in all the palaces it looks beautiful from afar but once you get up close you see the true quality.
