This anonymous engraving from the 17th century, titled "De koning van Ternate bezoekt de moskee" (The King of Ternate Visits the Mosque), depicts a procession of figures led by a man in a crown towards a mosque in the background. This scene is likely a depiction of the Sultan of Ternate, an Indonesian island, visiting a mosque in the 16th century. The engraving's detailed depiction of the architecture, clothing, and figures provides a valuable glimpse into the culture and society of the region during this period. This piece is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
