ملاحظات	This panel with carved geometric decoration forms most of one flank of a minbar or mosque pulpit. It was presented to the 9th-century mosque of Ibn Tulun in Cairo by the Mamluk Sultan Lajin (ruled 1296-1299) as one element in an extensive restoration. In 1294, when he was a Mamluk officer, the Sultan hid from his enemies in the ruined mosque. He vowed to restore it should his circumstances improve. He kept his vow. Most Islamic ornament was governed by principles of geometry. This panel reflects the elegant use of straight lines and regular patterns, seen here in a religious context.
İlişki	Paris Exhibition, 1867 Husayn Fahmi Cairo
Tarihsel bağlam	The plaques are delicately carved in two levels of relief, a characteristic of early Mamluk carving, and no two designs are identical. This panel is also notable for containing no ivory plaques: ivory inlay became popular on later Mamluk furniture, but here the colour contrast is provided by the use of different woods.
Malzemeler ve teknikler	Carved wood
Fiziksel açıklama	Part of the side of a minbar composed of plaques carved from different woods and set into a modern geometric framework. The minbar from which these plaques originally came was presented to the 9th-century mosque of Ibn Tulun in Cairo by the Mamluk Sultan Lajin (1296-99), as one element in an extensive restoration programme. The plaques are delicately carved with 'arabesque' motifs, in two levels of relief. This style was characteristic of early Mamluk carving, and no two designs are identical. This minbar is also notable for containing no ivory plaques: ivory inlay became popular on later Mamluk furniture (for example, on Sultan Qa'itbay's minbar, Museum no.1050-1869), but here the colour contrast is provided by the use of different woods.
Üretim	Made for the restoration of the mosque of Ibn Tulun by Sultan Lajin (r. 1297-9). Dated 1296.
