Description: | Illustration of the pulpit (side elevation) from the Mosque of Muhafiz Khan at Ahmadabad, near Gujarat from James Burgess' 'Original Drawings [of] Muhammadan Architecture of Ahmadabad.' This small mosque was built in 1465 by Jamail-ud-Din Muhafiz Khan who was a nobleman at the court of Sultan Mahmud Begada (r.1459-1511) and appointed chief magistrate of Ahmadabad in 1471. The arrangement of the minarets on the fa��ade of the Muhafiz Khan mosque is similar to the Isanpur mosque, as they were positioned at the extreme ends of the building, a new architectural style in Ahmadabad in the fifteenth century. Key decorative features include perforated windows, carved marble rosettes in the back wall, and a carved marble pulpit in the centre of the mosque. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Burgess, James (1832-1916) | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
