Geometric patterns are ever-present in Islamic art, from those carved in stone on grand buildings to all kinds of objects in various materials. In Qaitbey’s time, stonemasons achieved astonishing sophistication and mastery. Their works are, however, more than mere eye-pleasing ornaments. The inner logic of their structures is full of symbolic meaning and invites one to reflect on how simplicity relates to complexity, and the visible to the invisible.

About MISHKA Handcrafts: MISHKĀ in Arabic means lantern. The ten-pointed star logo is one continuous line that—like all MISHKĀ designs—is inspired by architectural masterpieces that Sultan Qaitbey built in this historic neighborhood in the heart of Cairo. With training, tools and support we strive to bring the women of the district the direct benefits of their work. This way, they build a better life for themselves and their families while also regenerating the entire district in which they live.
Made in Egypt
MISHKĀ stands for beautiful objects that are handcrafted using traditional techniques and the finest natural materials among Cairo’s historic Mamluk monuments in the ‘City of the Dead’.
