View of an interior room at the British Consulate in Damascus. The room is decorated with ornate mosaics in scrolling and geometric patterns, painted landscapes and city scenes, scrolling patterns in relief, and arched recesses. Jugs and vases of different sizes and shapes line the recessed shelves of the room. A fountain stands at the center of the room in the shape of a star.
