The rooms to either side are also two-stories high open onto the iwan through an arch on the lower level. |
I wish to refer to a point of special importance now, which I find is brought forward, in this connection, by iwan Bloch. |
The traces which remain show that the main iwan and the lower part of the courtyard walls down to floor level were covered with hexagonal turquoise tiles. |
Its more lavish ornamentation, seen in its entrance and main iwan, signifies a period of transition that heralds the more flamboyant style of the Mamluks. |
As answer I will give the finely just acknowledgment of iwan Bloch on this very question. |
On the walls of the courtyard, its dome, and the main iwan there are both decorative tiles and tile mosaic. |
