Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Carved wooden panels attributed to the Fatimid Palaces in Cairo (11th century), at the Louvre Museum. According to museum text explanation (item OA 4062, text in French only): the piece was found during excavations in one of the Mamluk monumental complexes built on the site of the former Fatimid palaces. In the same area, other wooden pieces with images of animals and humans on vegetal backgrounds were found. This piece probably belonged to a door.
Français : Panneaux en bois sculpté attribués aux palais fatimides du Caire (11e siècle), au Musée du Louvre. Texte du musée (objet OA 4062): "Ce fragment a été trouvé au Caire en 1874 dans des déblais près d’un complexe mamluk édifié sur les ruines du palais fatimide. Dans ce même secteur, d’autres boiseries découvertes portaient aussi des personnages et des animaux évoluant sur un fond de rinceaux. Ce rare fragment, au décor fouillé, appartenait probablement au décor luxueux d’une porte. Ce fragment a été restauré grâce au mécénat de Frédéric Jousset."
