Title: Life-size Template for the Left Half of the Curtain of Maqsurat Ibrahim
Date: 19th century
Location: Dar al-Kiswah, Cairo, Egypt
Materials: ink, pencil and watercolour on thick card, ghost-marked with a grid
Dimensions: 325 x 148cm
Accession Number: MSS 1128.7
Other Notes: The Maqsurat Ibrahim (now demolished) was a pavilion which housed the Maqam Ibrahim. Very few examples of the curtain for its door survive, but those that do and photographs indicate that this pattern was used up to the mid-20th century.
In this template, the blue represents areas which were to be embroidered in silver wire, the yellow in gilded silver wire. For the Maqam Ibrahim, see TXT 243
