Image: A cedarwood door panel with carving decoration by unknown woodworker. 37 3/16 x 18 1/8 inches. 1961-1968. These types of panels are made by woodworkers (settarin) who specialize in decorating wooden panels for the doors of madrasas, palaces, mosques, and minbars (pulpits) in mosques and also of panels that are inserted into walls or placed above doors. According to Josephine Powell, the collector of this panel, it was originally intended for the tomb of Mohammed V, the former king of Morocco, in Rabat. However, the panel did not fit well and was not used and so was sold to the Tropenmuseum. Used here by free license via the National Museum of World Culture in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
