Archäologische Reise im Euphrat- und Tigris-gebiet
An archaeological travel account by Friedrich Sarre, published in Berlin by D. Reimer in 1911, documenting ancient sites and monuments of the Euphrates and Tigris region for a scholarly readership. The plates show a vaulted arch in cut stone, a densely interlaced ornamental panel from a mosque, a plan of a domed church with dated building periods, and a carved relief with mounted figures and a lion, which a designer might draw on for architectural arch forms, knotwork interlace patterns, and carved medieval relief composition.
