ANTIQUITIES AND ISLAMIC ART SALE
Lot 303:
Description
This exceptional and rare artifact is a 13th-century Islamic wooden architectural panel, featuring deeply incised Arabic calligraphy in a classic Kufic or Maghrebi script style, characteristic of the Moresque artistic tradition found in Morocco and Islamic Spain (Al-Andalus).
The panel was likely part of a larger architectural element—possibly a lintel, frieze, or decorative beam—from a mosque, madrasa, or palace. Its intricate calligraphy may have once displayed Quranic verses, blessings, or poetic inscriptions, reflecting both spiritual and decorative purposes.
L: 129cm, W: 19cm
