Description

Photograph of Abraham's Rock of Sacrifice, set under the Dome of the Rock building in Jerusalem, Palestine, ca.1900/1910. A large ragged piece of rock sits in the floor of the structure, surrounded by a fence, and several marble columns which hold up a striped archway. A swirling design lines the ceiling above the arches, while other arched embellishments and stained glass(?) windows can be seen in the wall beyond them, as well as a hanging chandelier.
