Overview

An outdoor stone pulpit with steps, carved details and a domed canopy. [1]

The minbar stands alongside the southern platform arcade. Its stair, elevated speaking position and canopy distinguish it from a mihrab, which marks the direction of prayer. [1]

Museum With No Frontiers leaves its original construction and patron unknown, while recording a fourteenth-century restoration supervised by Burhan al-Din ibn Jama‘a and another in 1843. These are restoration dates, not a secure founding date. [1]
