Glazed windows of this type, both plain and decorative, are found in traditional buildings in Turkey and the Arab lands. They are usually set at a high level, over unglazed windows that are sometimes covered by shutters and screens. Such windows were used in the Middle East for centuries to adorn a variety of buildings, including palaces, mosques, houses, and tombs. This window consists of small pieces of glass of different colours arranged in a pattern of curlicues and flowers within a plaster framework. It was probably made in nineteenth-century Cairo. During this period the increasing influence of European fashions led to a decline in the production of such windows.

Fiziksel açıklama
This Islamic stained glass window is made from a slab of stucco in a wooden frame. Perforations are carved into the stucco and backed with coloured glass. This window has a pattern based around four yellow ogives, each with a central red rose bud on a green stem. Small circular perforations backed with blue glass form a background to the design. There is a scale pattern at either side at the top, and a green border separating this from the central design.
