520 |a This paper addresses literary evidence on the spoils of al-Andalus, their origin and final fate once transported to the East. These objects, identified as the Table of Solomon, the crowns of the Visigothic kings, a gemstone ( yāqūt ) that belonged to Ḏū l-Qarnayn, and a jug of pearls ( qulayla ), were not only associated with pre-Islamic and Islamic characters but also with objects displayed in major Islamic shrines in the East, such as the pearl Yatīma and a gemstone called Qulayla, displayed in the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem and in the Great Mosque of Damascus, respectively. It is my contention that the accounts provided by Andalusi scholars such as Ibn Ḥabīb (d. 853) and Aḥmad al-Rāzī (d. 955) stressed the symbolic value of these spoils of conquest as signs of sovereignty and relics of the past and articulated an Umayyad discourse of legitimacy that highlighted their claim as rightful and pious caliphs, establishing a link between Past and Present and East and West.
