He also mentioned, "the new windowed cage will be installed after the Fortieth Pilgrimage of Imam Hussein". We had an interview with Mr. Afdhal EL-Shami, the deputy general secretary of the Imam Hussein holy shrine in which he stated, "one of most significant qualities is that all the windowed cages of all the holy shrines in the world have been presented by kings or Sultans, but this new windowed cage is different by being made by some Ahlulbait Shiite followers from all over the world. The second quality is that this windowed cage combines between originality and the modern way of manufacturing it, so it is mixed of old and modern art. It weighs 12 tons, 5 tons of wood, 5 tons or less of silver and 120 kg of gold". By: Mohammed Jassim
