Mamluk Enamelled and Gilded Glass

Publisher: The Islamic Art Society, London; Hardcover, 140 pages, 270x310 mm; English and Arabic text.

Hanging mosque lamps are the main feature of the book, inspiring its unconventional vertical format. The objects are photographed on a light background and positioned on the top page of the book, giving them a floating, hanging feel. Close-up details showcase the beauty and personality of these magnificent hand-painted objects. A semi-opaque, flexible material is used for the cover, revealing a macro image of glass so abstract it evokes a dessert landscape.
