Qiblah Compass
The Khalili Collections
The schematic depictions around the Ka'bah on the top of the lid include Zamzam and the minbar of the Haram. A view of the Meccan sanctuary replaces the word junub ('south') on the interior. The names of Allah and Muhammad alternate with the phrase ma sha'a Allah ('Whatsoever God wills') on the sides.
