The engraving beautifully captures the solemnity and devotion of these worshippers as they bow down on intricately woven prayer mats. Each figure is depicted with utmost detail, emphasizing the diversity within Afghan society while highlighting their shared faith in Islam. The scene exudes an aura of tranquility and spirituality, transporting viewers to this distant time and place where religion played a central role in people's lives. It serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that has shaped Afghanistan throughout history.
