Fiziksel açıklama	This is a plaster cast of one of the marble inscriptions that originally decorated the facade of the Madrasa Yusufiya, a Nasrid royal madrasa built in Granada in 1349. The original marble panel is now in the Museo ArqueolÃ³gico y EtnolÃ³gico in Granada (inv. CE2109), together with a second marble panel (inv. CE2108) which sits immediately above this panel. The original inscription was enclosed within a polylobed arch supported by flanking columns, one of which can be seen at the edges of this plaster cast. Another panel associated with this group but probably not contiguous contains the foundation text for the madrasa by the Nasrid Sultan Yusuf I (r. 1333-54) and says that "It was finished in the month of muharram of the year 750", equivalent to 22 March to 20 April 1349.
