專家說明

A carved wooden door from the Church of Anba Bishoi in Wadi al-Natrun, datable between 1070 and 1100, can be compared to the present example (R. Ettinghausen and O. Grabar, Islamic Art and Architecture 650-1250, 2001, fig.476). This panel was much probably inset in a larger wooden screen as seen on the iconostasis of the Church of Sitt Barbara in Coptic Cairo (G. Wiet, Bois sculptés d'églises coptes (époque fatimide), Cairo, 1930, pl.I).
