👐 game-ready optimization by Eunjeong Yu
This scan captures a decorative marble panel located on the outer wall of the Zitouna Mosque in Tunis. The surface is intricately carved and inlaid with Qur’anic inscriptions in black script, framed by geometric motifs. While its form may resemble a fountain, the panel is purely ornamental, serving as a visual testament to the integration of sacred text into Tunisian Islamic architecture. Such panels were created not for function but for reflection — embodying the spiritual and artistic values of the Medina. They highlight the role of calligraphy as both a devotional act and an architectural feature, transforming sacred words into enduring stonework that welcomes worshippers and passersby. 📍 Location: Outside Zitouna Mosque, Medina of Tunis 📌 Part of the Tanit XR Digital Preservation Initiative, dedicated to preserving Tunisia’s cultural heritage through 3D scanning and immersive technology.
