Polychrome Zouak Painted Cedar Wood Dome (Qubba) in Historic Riad
A masterwork of traditional Moroccan Zouak (hand-painted cedar wood craftsmanship) adorning an ornate riad reception salon. The monumental circular dome (qubba) features vibrant mineral pigment patterns with floral arabesques (tawriq) and interlacing geometric stars, supported by carved muqarnas stalactite corbels and intricate calligraphic-style friezes, embodying the golden age of Andalusian-Moroccan palace decor.
