Men are shown standing in the prayer hall. At least one of them is holding a book, possibly the Qur'an. Striped arches dot the ceiling as well as rafters and the occasional lamp or chandelier. Several birds gather on the floor while a few fly in the rafters. The depicted scene shows an excellent use of perceptive as the composition looks straight down one of the rows in the room.
