Notes
This balcony has a rectangular base and extends on both ends with two prominent openings. It is surmounted by a decorative element in the form of a leaf with a concave surface perforated twice in its middle. The green enamel covering the surface overflows on the side faces. The piece is broken into two parts, and has been reinforced with plaster on its back sides. This merlon, in addition to other similar elements, forms a frieze that crowned the top facades of Hammadid palaces. As for the holes that we observe on the surface of the leaf, it is possible that they were used to house the fastening tabs.
