DAMASCUS' MASTERPIECE; IN MODERN MOSAIC 



This elegant and delicate piece of work took many months to complete and is the admira- 

 tion, pride, and boast of Damascenes. Across the center, worked in tiny stones, are some, 

 verses from the Koran, so neatly joined as to give the appearance of handwriting. The side 

 columns are red granite brought from Upper Egypt.
