Mosque joinery

The door, the grille, the minbar, when they are visible from the open courtyard, are joinery of a house of worship. You read them with your head uncovered and your voice low. It is not an hour of craft.

What you look at

The leaf, the cut rosette, sometimes an inscription. From the courtyard threshold, if it is open. Abdul Medgid mosque in Medgidia, Ali Gazi Pașa in Babadag, Hünkâr in Constanța: each has its own page.

Etiquette

Shoes, carpets, dress: carpets in the mosque. Do not photograph during prayer. Do not go in outside the announced hours. Two frames, from the street and from the courtyard: mosque from the street.

What it is not

Not an open workshop. Not “Ottoman style to take home”. Do not touch the wood. If the door is shut, you stay on the street.
