| Description |
The inscription on the neck of this lamp reproduces the celebrated Verse of Light from the Koran (24:35), which likens divine light to a shining glass lamp. The inscription on the body of this lamp records that it was produced for a theological school founded about 1315, and gives the titles of the sultan Muhammad ibn Qala'un, who ruled the Mamluk kingdom on three occasions between 1293 and 1340. |
