Depending on the reports, the pavement of the building was composed entirely of mosaics … the walls were lined with marble up to the height of several toises [one toise = two metres].  Above, reigned a huge vine formed of gold.  Higher one could see small fragments – golds, reds, greens, whites, which represent all the known countries.  The Kaaba was placed above the mihrab, and other regions are depicted, to the right and left, all of them producing trees remarkable for their fruits and flowers and other objects.
