Framed Art Panel | Prophet Muhammad’s Sandal depicting the Holy Ka’aba & Maqam Ibrahim

The wonderful art panel is a recreation of a late 1700s or early 1800s outline of a traditional depiction of the Prophetic Sandal with it's well known pointed form. The original painting was created using body color (gauche) and is located in illustrated Maghrebi manuscript.
 
The Naalain encompasses a diagram of the Holy Ka'aba and the Maqam Ibrahim. A geometric interlocking square design is located at the mid-foot section. The outline of the sandal is bordered with prayers in white maghribi script reserved against blue ground. The spandrels with geometric kufic squares are inscribed with the phrase 'baraka Muhammad', meaning 'the blessings of Muhammad' and contain polychrome floral illumination.
