Masterpieces From Eye And Chisel

Damascus, Sept. 5.

Enquiries have revealed that a 75-year-old illiterate Syrian artisan, named Abu Suleiman Khayyat, was the unnamed craftsman responsible for the decorated, carved wood dome of the main hall of the Syrian Parliament building.

The decorative carving has been much admired by both Syrian and foreign visitors, whose curiosity as to the author caused enquiries to be made.
