Brass Astrolabe in a Mosque — Watercolor Scene

A softly lit interior of a mosque rendered in delicate watercolor. In the foreground rests an ancient brass astrolabe on a carved wooden stand, its patina gleaming with emerald-green tarnish and fine celestial engravings. Surrounding it are pale marble floors, slender columns, and a mihrab framed by intricate arabesque tilework and gold Arabic calligraphy. Light streams from stained-glass windows and a distant dome, casting translucent washes of blue, gold, and warm ochre that blur edges and create a gentle glow. The scene uses wet-on-wet techniques, soft edges, and subtle grain to evoke the texture of metal, wood, and fabric. The mood is reverent and timeless, presenting the artifact as the quiet centerpiece of sacred space with diffuse shadows and a tranquil atmosphere.
