Altajwal Cabinet
Aug 03, 2023
This cabinet, called Altajwal (Arabic for “The Wanderings”), is part of a series of pieces illustrating the legends of the biblical King Solomon. This one tells the story of Solomon being tricked out of his homeland by the Prince of Demons, and forced to wander lost in the desert for years. “I’ve taken a traditional Mamluk pattern often found in stonework and carved much of it away to suggest ruins submerged in sand dunes,” Beston says.
