Etsy - TheArabesque The Arabesque® 11 X 14 Inch Wooden Wall Art - Al-Anwar Mosque Hand-Painted & Laser-Etched Rustic Arabesque Window Pattern Engraving
Description
The Al-Hakim mosque, also known as the al-Anwar mosque, was built in Fatimid Cairo at the end of the tenth century. At the time, it was one of the largest mosques in the world. The mosque suffered the winds of time & entered a dilapidated state in the early modern era. Napolean's army turned this once great Fatimid structure into a stable, & overtime, its remaining structures began to be replaced. However, since the mosque had a significance to the Dawoodi Bohra community of India, they chose to renovate & rebuild it, to resemble its former glorious state. There was a lot of work to be undertaken & this community rebuilt the mosque. This wooden engraved work of art, based on the architectural features of an arabesque laced window grille from this historic mosque, is a tribute to the al-Anwar's history & heritage. This one-of-a-kind rustic-look artwork mixes medieval & modern in a colorful way. It's a unique modern addition to any space in your home or office.
