This scan captures a richly decorated wall panel inside the Mausoleum of Sidi Sahbi, adorned with vibrant Ottoman-era ceramic tiles framed by intricate stucco carvings. The central tile panel depicts a stylized vase with flourishing vegetal motifs, surrounded by geometric and floral designs in blue, yellow, and green. The craftsmanship reflects the fusion of Andalusian, Ottoman, and Maghrebi influences that characterize much of Kairouan’s later decorative arts. The Mausoleum of Sidi Sahbi, also known as the Barber’s Mosque, is one of Tunisia’s most revered pilgrimage sites, honoring Abu Zama al-Balawi, a companion of the Prophet Muhammad. Its interiors are richly ornamented, demonstrating centuries of devotion and artistic patronage.
