The panel reproduces the transversal section, stylized, of the Mosque of the Prophet in Medina. Below the upper tier, a central cuspid arch and two lateral arches supported by four elegant spiral columns, crowned by a crescent. Three mosque lamps are suspended in correspondence with the centre of the arches' vaul. In the middle, a central scroll displays the inscription "Glory to Allah".
