A Deesis mould in Berlin
Material culture, particularly that belonging to the assumed category of ‘Islamic’ art with Christian scenes, forms the focus of this article. This is undertaken through consideration of a ceramic object from medieval Iran now in Berlin, a mould with the scene of the Deesis, which is signed by a Muslim craftsman, also a coppersmith. A central issue is that of cultural ambiguity, which can be pursued though analogies with twelfth–thirteenth-centur…

Crusader Sculpture and the So-Called 'Templar Workshop
(2000). Crusader Sculpture and the So-Called 'Templar Workshop': A Reassessment of Two Carved Panels from the Dome of the Rock in the Haram Al-Sharif Museum in Jerusalem. Palestine Exploration Quarterly: Vol. 132, No. 2, pp. 131-156
Churches of Old Cairo and Mosques of Al-Qāhira
The article surveys the cultural relations in Egypt between Christians and Muslims before the Ottomans by means of a selection of churches in Old Cairo and of mosques in the growing city of al-Qāhira. It examines these buildings and aspects of them in the light of the changing status of the Christian population from majority to minority, categorising them into four key phases, from the rise of Islam to the coming of the Ottomans. It discusses sha…
The Fine Incense of Virginity
A richly symbolical wallpainting of the Annunciation was brought to light in 1991 in the western conch of the church of the Virgin at the desert Monastery of the Syrians at Scetis (Wadi al-Natrun) in Egypt (figs. 1-5). The interpretation put forward here is that the scene celebrates the Mother of God as the epitome of perfect womanhood at the moment of Christ’s conception with her key role reinforced by explicit symbolism of her virginity. This i…

A woman’s prayer to St Sergios in Latin Syria
Amongst the collection of icons at St Catherine’s Monastery, Mount Sinai, is a small panel depicting a woman wearing a black veil kneeling before the equestrian saint Sergios (fig. 1). The icon is one of a group of thirteenth-century Sinai icons, many of equestrian saints, whose date and provenance has been a matter of debate. But lacking from this debate has been interpretation of the icon as an indicator of a particular social, religious and po…
