Двустворчатые дверцы Минбара

Египет, Каир

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 450

Минбар, или кафедра, состоит из подиума с дверцами у ее основания и лестницы. Эти двустворчатые дверцы, возможно, принадлежали Минбару мечети эмира Саифа аль-Дин Косуна в Каире. Предметы интерьера мечетей Каира, в особенности в период правления Мамлюков (1250–1517 гг.), были украшены сложными многогранными конструкциями. Эти двустворчатые двери демонстрируют разнообразие орнамента, при этом большинство элементов также характерны для изделий из других материалов, включая резьбу по камню, мраморную мозаику и лепные оконные решетки. Искусная резьба узоров впечатляет: каждый элемент гармонично дополняет общую композицию.
