- The Baptistère of St. Louis is one of the great masterpieces of Islamic art. Its perfection - and the mysteries surrounding it - are a source of fascination. It was made by the master craftsman Mohammed ibn al-Zain, who signed his work six times. A second inlaid metal bowl of his making is also in the museum's collections. The basin is decorated with scenes of human activity, inlaid with precious metals.
