Mosque lamp from cairo, Mamluk dynasty, around 1350.
Enamelled and gilded glass lamps were commissioned in large numbers for the many mosques built by the Mamluk Sultans and their amirs. Usually inscribed with verses from the Koran, this lamp also contains an inscription frieze with the name and titles of Sayaf al-Din Shayku al-Nasiri and his heraldic device, a red cup. The lamp comes probably from Shayuk's mosque at the foot of the citadel in Cairo which was completed in 1349. OA, S.333 OA+521
