Fiziksel açıklama	Khayamiya panel, design organised around a central roundel with a geometric pattern, framed with leafy scrolls. There are two lines of Arabic inscriptions above this, with a reciprocal frieze running along the top. These lines are then repeated along the two side borders, written vertically (on the top right, this begins with the words bi-l-sa`d, âwith happinessâ). The panel was designed as an awning, so these lines of text would hang to either side, and be legible along the street.
