A large, intricately carved wooden ship's wheel, approximately 1.5 meters in diameter, is centrally displayed against a rough-textured, light brown stone wall at Café Hafa in Tangier, Morocco. The wheel features numerous wooden spokes with dark-tipped handles. Its main disc is made of dark wood, extensively inlaid with lighter wood patterns comprising geometric motifs, scrollwork, and repeating stylized bird figures. Embedded within the wheel's surface are approximately 28 small, circular framed monochrome portraits of various individuals. At the exact center, a larger, octagonal frame encloses a monochrome portrait of a male figure shown in profile, wearing a crown or distinctive headdress. This central portrait is surrounded by star-shaped inlays. Above the wheel, a small, golden, abstractly shaped decorative object is partially visible against the uneven, textured ceiling. To the upper right of the wheel, a dark, polished wooden statue depicting the head and elongated neck of a camel stands upright. The surrounding walls and ceiling exhibit a granular, natural rock or textured plaster appearance. An arched opening or doorway is visible at the bottom of the frame, leading to an obscured interior space. The scene is illuminated by ambient light, originating primarily from the left, creating subtle shadows and highlights on the textured surfaces.
