Fatimid Wood Carving of Hunters, 11th Century
Carved wooden panels from the ruined 11th century Caliphal palace in Cairo, originally coated with a layer of detailed stucco sculpture; the basic wooden reliefs still show hunts-men and warriors. Here a footsoldier with a large round shield on his back carries a short spear as he runs ahead of a mounted falconer. (Museum of Islamic Art, Cairo).
