Islamic wall art print of craftsmen carving the minbar Nur ad-Din Zangi commissioned for Masjid al-Aqsa, the great wooden pulpit built in Aleppo in the 1160s for a mosque not yet in Muslim hands. Painted in soft watercolour with fine ink detail and no facial features, the workshop fading into white space at the edges. A meaningful piece for a prayer room, hallway, study or living room.
Nur ad-Din ordered the minbar built decades before Jerusalem was liberated, an act of certainty about a future he might not see. When Saladin took the city in 1187 it was carried from Damascus and installed in al-Aqsa, where it stood for eight hundred years until it was destroyed by arson in 1969. A reconstruction stands there today.
A moving gift for an Eid, a new home or anyone who holds Al Quds close. Part of the Riwayah Studio Islamic History collection: Al Aqsa wall art, Jerusalem poster, Palestine heritage print, Islamic craftsmanship art, Muslim home wall decor.
Country of origin: designed in the United Kingdom and printed to order in your own region, so US orders are printed and shipped within the US with no customs charges or import duty. This is an original paper art print.
Printed on premium 200 gsm matte paper with a smooth, uncoated finish that holds deep colour without glare. The paper is FSC certified and archival quality, so the artwork will not yellow over time.
Poster only: the print on its own, rolled and shipped in a protective tube, ready for your own frame or hanger. The most affordable option if you already have framing in mind.
Poster with wooden hanger: a black pine hanger with a matching leather cord. Magnetic strips grip the top and bottom of the print without damaging it, so fitting takes seconds and the print can be swapped or framed later. A good choice for renters or anyone who likes to restyle.
Framed print: a slim black aluminium frame, around 1 cm wide, with a shatterproof acrylic front and hanging kit included. The print and frame arrive together in one box, with simple fitting by hand in a couple of minutes.
Every piece is an original Riwayah Studio design, created in the United Kingdom and printed to order at our production partner's nearest facility. Orders placed in the US are printed in the US, and UK and EU orders are printed in Europe. Free delivery is included.
