Long before writing was developed, mankind may have realised and systematically used geometrical structures. Nature offers the eye multiple curved lines, and a blade of grass or a tree trunk can symbolise the thought of a straight line as well as the idea of a circle (as a cross-section). When weaving or braiding we generate simple two-dimensional patterns, which then are purposely modified or also replicated as decoration on clay pots.
