Panel

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 454

Only a single polygonal element remains of what was undoubtedly a larger set. The central inlaid piece of ivory is carved with very characteristic Mamluk designs, as tendrils weave around each other in never-ending patterns with circular and foliate buds. Some of the outer inlay strips of plain wood and ivory have been lost exposing how the panel was assembled and fitted.
