| Abstract | ||||
| Mahmudiya Mosque had once enclosed several monumental artifacts. Some of which are still standing like Dikka al-mubaligh, and the pulpit "Minbar". Other artifacts were transferred to the Museum of Islamic Art in Cairo like the main entrance's wooden shutter. other artifacts had been lost, like the wall's wooden – clock and the original recital seat "Dikkat al-muqri", which were once present according to ancient references, and the Mosque’s old plate. This paper aims at shedding light on these monumental artifacts, in an attempt to return back the lost artifact and the replaced ones as well. Another reason is to attract attention to the artifacts that suffer from biological insect damage as the Dikkat al–Mubaligh, and the ones that had been badly affected with rust accumulation on their surfaces, such as the iron and brass grilles that coat the mosque's lower windows. Furthermore, this paper illuminates the significance of restoring the damaged upper roundel windows "quamariat" inside the mosque –as possible-to their original structure. | ||||
