Description
Muqarnas 38 begins by considering a curious Kufic-inscribed block in the eleventh-century church of Wuqro Cherqos in Ethiopia. The next articles focus on a monument and on manuscript in India, gardens in Kabul, Ottoman Tunisia, and twentieth-century photography. In the Notes and Sources section, new data for reconstructing the luster tilework decoration of the tomb chamber of 'Abd al-Samad's shrine in central Iran is presented. The final essay is an exhaustive study of the five muqarnas capitals in the Alhambra.
