Window

Unknown

17th century · Gypsum, stained glass · Islamic Art

A window such as this with colored panes in green and orange might have been found in a room of a late Ottoman aristocratic home, like the Damascus reception room also in the Museum's collection (1970.70) Tinted glass was favored because it filtered the light, but it also complemented the multihued furnishings of these rooms.
