"View of the Sanctuary Niche and the Pulpit in the Mosque of Moyed" is a historical illustration by French architect Pascal Xavier Coste, serving as plate 28 in his influential work "Monuments and Buildings of Cairo." This illustration is part of a larger collection that documents the architectural heritage of Cairo, Egypt, during the 19th century. Coste, who was born in 1787 and died in 1879, was an esteemed architect and a pioneer in the study of Islamic architecture. His travels in the Middle East, particularly in Egypt, allowed him to produce detailed drawings and plans of various buildings and monuments, which he later compiled into his published works.

The Mosque of Al-Muayyad, often referred to as the Mosque of Moyed in historical texts, is a significant religious and architectural landmark in Cairo, known for its grandeur and intricate design. Coste's illustration captures the interior view of the sanctuary niche, or mihrab, which indicates the direction of Mecca, and the pulpit, or minbar, from where sermons are delivered during Islamic services. His work is celebrated for its accuracy and attention to detail, providing valuable insights into the art and architecture of the Islamic world during a time when such documentation was rare.

Coste's illustrations not only serve as a visual record but also as a resource for scholars and enthusiasts of Islamic art and architecture. "View of the Sanctuary Niche and the Pulpit in the Mosque of Moyed" stands as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Cairo and reflects the city's historical significance as a center of Islamic learning and civilization. Coste's contribution through his meticulous documentation in "Monuments and Buildings of Cairo" remains an important source for the study of 19th-century Egyptian architecture and has helped to preserve the knowledge of these historical structures for future generations.
