Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper presents a study and analysis of no-longer extant paintings found originally inside the sixteenth century domed arcade which framed the Holy sanctuary in Mecca. It interlinks information obtained through technical analysis of samples taken from these paintings, with information about the history of the arcade. Beyond providing a brief history of this understudied domed arcade, the research yields information about the production of their paintings and the range of materials used and is intended to shed light on the oldest section of the Holy Mosque in Mecca. Information surrounding the dismantling, conservation, and partial reintegration of this arcade back into the expanded courtyard in Mecca’s holy sanctuary is also provided.
