A vertically oriented etching in dense black-inked fine lines depicts a massive, dark arched entrance to a mosque. In the foreground, five people in long robes and head coverings gather on steps. Within the recessed doorway, hanging lanterns glow against alternating striped walls. Tall decorated columns flank the entrance against light-colored walls, creating high contrast between the deeply shadowed interior and the bright exterior.
