Germany, Museum Island, Berlin, Pergamon Museum

The wall panelling, with its patterns painted in the most remarkable detail, comes from the banqueting hall of a private house in Aleppo's Christian district. Two inscriptions give the years 1009 and 1012 according to the Islamic calendar (1600 - 1601 and 1603) as the date of execution. The former owner and patron of the paintings, Isa b. Butrus ("Jesus, son of Peter") is also named in the inscriptions.
