Depiction of the Prophet's Mosque in Medina, reduced to its most important structures: on the left, the rectangular tombs of Muhammad, Abu Bakr and Umar, and, in the prayer hall to the right, a side-view of the Prophet's minbar. The semi-circular form at the upper edge of the mosque is the mihrab, indicating the direction of prayer.
