Here, the curtain is an intricate wooden lattice that screens off the ‘Dome of the Women’ in the complex of Ibn Barquq. The art of creating big screens of minute wooden pieces was mastered in Egypt where timber was always scarce and expensive. Even in a royal establishment like this one, economy was never neglected. The same is true of the design, which follows a deceptively simple geometrical network resulting in a mind-bogglingly complex ornament.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAbout \u003cstrong\u003eMISHKA Handcrafts\u003c\/strong\u003e: MISHKĀ in Arabic means lantern.
