The walls speak to us through these inscriptions with carefully chosen verses of the Qur’an, with religious invocations, with praises for the people who ordered the building to be constructed, and sometimes with poetry. The inscription on this MISHKĀ bracelet reads: Our Master the Sultan, the King, al-Ashraf Qaitbey, Let His Victory be Glorious. These words once adorned the minbar, or pulpit, in the Sultan’s madrasa.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAbout \u003cstrong\u003eMISHKA Handcrafts\u003c\/strong\u003e: MISHKĀ in Arabic means lantern.
