Antique architectural engraving / loose plate, believed to be 19th century, showing a mosque in Cairo, Egypt.
The plate shows a detailed architectural view of a mosque courtyard/interior above, with a ground plan below. It has a visible impressed plate mark, suggesting an intaglio printing process such as engraving or etching.
From research, the subject appears as though it could possibly be the MOSQUE OF SULTAN AL-MUAYYAD in Cairo, also known in some older sources as El-Moyed Mosque, but I cannot confirm that with certainty. It is therefore being listed more generally as an antique mosque architectural plate and sold exactly as shown.
