Par de portas de Minbar

ca. 1325–30
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 450
Um minbar, ou púlpito, consiste de um pódio com portas na sua base cujo acesso é feito por escadas. Este par de portas provavelmente origina-se do minbar da mesquita do amir Saif al-Din Qawsun no Cairo. O mobiliário das mesquitas do Cairo era decorado com polígonos intricadamente construídos especialmente durante o período mameluco (1250–1517). Este par de portas está coberto com vários padrões, muitos dos quais são também encontrados em outros materiais, como entalhes em pedra, mosaicos de mármore e persianas de janela de estuque. O corte das peças que compõem estes desenhos exige grande perícia, já que cada peça afeta o conjunto.
