This is a detailed model showcasing the Nilometer, a 9th-century architectural structure designed to measure the water level of the Nile River. The model is presented in a cutaway view, revealing its internal construction and the surrounding earth. The upper section depicts the architectural facade with intricate decorative elements and windows. Below this, the interior is shown with small figures suggesting human presence and functional spaces. The lower portion of the model illustrates a series of stepped underground chambers and conduits, designed to connect to the river. A plaque with text in multiple languages, including English, provides information about the Nilometer, its location on Roda Island near Cairo, and its creator, the encyclopedic scholar Ahmad al-Farghani. The model is displayed in an indoor environment, likely a museum, with artificial lighting highlighting the exhibit.
