Fresco on wall of apodyterium or changing room, Qasr Amra, Jordan. This fresco depicts herds of animals being corralled in a roped-off enclosure. These early Islamic frescoes have strong Persian and Byzantine influences. The original castle complex was built in 723-743 by Walid Ibn Yazid, the future Umayyad Caliph Walid II. It was a fortress with military garrison and residence of the Umayyad Caliphs. Today only the royal pleasure cabin remains, with reception hall and hammam or bath house.
