Out of the five windows exhibited, four are documented photographically. Two can be seen in detail (IG_404, IG_405), and two can be glimpsed in the background (IG_406). The window that was exhibited in the loggia is not documented photographically. It is characterized as a large window made of plaster with coloured panes and including the Muslim creed. According to the catalogue, it was created in the 15th century, and was therefore the oldest of the windows exhibited at the General Art and Industrial Exposition of Stockholm. Its provenance is said to be an unspecified mosque in Cairo (Martins Sammlung, 1897, p. 8).
