Turkish and Islamic Museum 0841.jpg

view map

From the Ulu Camii in Cizre, 13th century, Seljuq Atabeg. This is only part of a monumental door that has been transferred to the museum and is of a marvellous quality. Light was very dim, so I could not take any more detailled pictures.

I REALLY HOPE THAT THE OTHER ORIGINAL PIECE OF THAT DOOR KNOCK WILL COME TO ITS HOMELAND.
AS IT IS KNOWN THAT THE OTHER PAIR OF THIS UNBELIEVABLE OBJECT IS STOLEN AND TAKEN TO A MUSEUM IN DENMARK
MUSEUM OF DAVIDS .I WANT TO PROTEST THIS KIND OF MUSEUMS.
