#Ramadan begins today – the 9th month of the Islamic calendar is celebrated by Muslims worldwide as a time of fasting, spiritual reflection, and increased prayer.

Decorative lanterns – known as ‘fanoos’ – are often hung up to celebrate the holy month. The tradition is associated with the symbolism of light as guidance, and is believed to have begun in 10th-century Cairo.

This enamelled glass lamp bears a decorative inscription from the ‘Light verse’ of the Qur’an and would have been used to illuminate a mosque or shrine.

🔎 Mosque-lamp made of gilded, enamelled glass. Taqi al-Din Mosque, Aleppo, Syria,1300–1340.
