The Kaaba
Mousa(2005)
Mousa,a courteous man who is very serious about his Muslim faith,said he wanted to make a model of the Kaaba in Makkah.
I was very nervous site.
The shrine is covered in black silk with verses from the Koran embroidered on it.
It is replaced every year.
Images of the actual shrine can be seen in the West Asia Room of the museum.
