Qa'itbay was a prolific patron of both the arts and architecture, he commissioned a large number of mosques, public fountains (sabil) and religious buildings (madrasa) and inns (wikala). It has been suggested that this panel originally came from the Wikala of Sultan Qa'itbay in Cairo, but without further details it is difficult to assign this piece with certainty to that particular complex. This piece is identical to another currently in the collection of the Royal Museum, National Museums of Scotland (NMS), and was similarly accessioned into their collection from the Maurice Collection in 1884.

Fiziksel açıklama
A wooden panel carved with a central field and narrow border. Within the central field a round tripartite, epigraphic blazon is set against an arabesque ground. The titles of Sultan Qa'itbay (ruled 1468-96) occupy the centre ground, his name is given above and his victory evoked below. The three inscriptions, rendered in thuluth script read: âal-sultan al-malik al-ashrafâ (centre) âQa'itbay (above) âizz nasrihiâ (below). The central field is surrounded by a stylised split-palmette scroll.
