Lot Essay:
 
The carved decoration of the present beam is remarkable and relates to several other artworks from Egypt or Syria.
Arabic calligraphy as a decorative motif in Egypt or Syria was used on a variety of media, on a small or large scale and with only subtle and gradual changes throughout the centuries.
Although each of the Islamic dynasties which have ruled over Syria’s developed their artistic traditions and styles, there were such strong cross-influences between Syria’s 15th century that attributing artworks precisely is often challenging, particularly when the dating is solely based on stylistic grounds. of all the works of art that were produced in the Western Islamic world during the mediaeval period, wood carvings are probably the most difficult pieces to date precisely, However, looking at the calligraphy and the floral decoration will help us support our attribution of this impressive wood-carved panel.
Several other panels from Islamic Al-Andluisa Spain have been sold throughout the international major renowned Sotheby’s and Christie’s and Bonhams auctioneers.
