Istanbul december 2009 7029.jpg

This is a screen of cut marble that is a bit of “trompe l’œil” in that it tries to look like a screen of wood, complete with a lock and keys. A notice indicated that it would be closed (with a marble door on hinges) when a religious council was held.

Elsewhere I read it is certainly not an original part of the church but a later addition. I took some pictures of details.
