Minbar-Tür

Ägypten, Kairo

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 450

Eine Minbar oder Kanzel besteht aus einem Podium mit Türen, das über eine Treppe erreicht wird. Diese Tür stammt wahrscheinlich von der Minbar der Moschee des Emirs Saif al-Din Qawsun in Kairo. Die Möblierung der Kairoer Moscheen, insbesondere zur Zeit der Mamelucken (1250–1517), war mit kunstfertigen Vielecken verziert. Diese Tür weist eine Vielzahl an Mustern auf, von denen die meisten auch auf anderen Medien gefunden werden können, wie auf behauenem Stein, Marmormosaiken und bei Stuckfenstergittern. Die Präzision, die zur Herstellung dieser gemusterter Objekte benötigt wurde, ist besonders bemerkenswert, da jeder Teil Einfluss auf das Gesamtbild hat.
