Par de puertas de minbar

ca. 1325–30
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 450
Un minbar, o púlpito, consiste en un podio con puertas en la base y acceso a través de una escalera. Es probable que estas puertas provengan del minbar de la mezquita del emir Saif al–Din Qawsun en El Cairo. El mobiliario de las mezquitas cairotas estaba decorado con polígonos intrincadamente ensamblados, en particular durante el periodo mameluco (1250–1517). Diseños geométricos de gran variedad, similares a los que vemos en estas puertas, también aparecían en piedras talladas, mosaicos de mármol y celosías de ventana de estuco. El corte de las piezas que componen estos diseños exige gran pericia, ya que cada una de ellas afecta el conjunto.
