Mosque Lamp of Amir Qawsun

Mosque Lamp of Amir Qawsun. Dimensions: H. 14 1/8 in. (35.9 cm) Max. diam. 10 1/16 in. (25.6 cm) Diam. with handles 10 5/16 in. (26.2 cm). Maker: 'Ali ibn Muhammad al-Barmaki ?. Date: ca. 1329-35. Large glass lamps of this type were commissioned by sultans and members of their court for mosques, <i>madrasa</i>s (Qur'anic schools), tombs, hospices, and other public buildings in fourteenth-century Mamluk Cairo. This example bears the name of its patron, Qawsun (d. 1342), amir of the Sultan al-Nasir Muhammad ibn Qalaun (r. 1293-1341 with brief interruptions), and was probably intended for one of his two architectural commissions in Cairo--a mosque or a tomb-hospice complex.
