A detailed diorama depicting "The Battle of Al-Qadisiyya, Iraq, 636 AD" is presented within a glass display case inside a museum in Fez, Morocco. The diorama features a large-scale battlefield rendered in arid, tan-colored earth, traversed by narrow blue waterways and dotted with small patches of blue-green vegetation. Two distinct armies are arrayed for combat across the terrain. The army on the left side of the diorama consists of numerous brown-clad infantry units in dense formations, interspersed with sections featuring square yellow-orange structures, possibly representing supply wagons or temporary fortifications. The opposing army on the right side comprises multiple rows of grey-green war elephants, light brown and grey-blue uniformed infantry, and cavalry units. A small, dark brown rectangular structure, resembling a watchtower or fortified position, is visible near the upper right. An informational plaque positioned in the lower right foreground of the display identifies the belligerents as the Rashidun Caliphate and the Sassanid Empire. The text details commanders, estimated troop counts, including infantry, cavalry, and a specific mention of 40 elephants for the Sassanid forces. The exhibit is under artificial illumination, highlighting the miniature figures and terrain features.
