He seized the sultanate and proclaimed a series of xenophobic, discriminatory and oppressive policies. Barsbay escaped the most common fate of Mamluk sultans, deposition and execution, by dying of the plague. The economic decline of Egypt at this time may be judged by the remark of the Mamluk antiquarian al-Maqrizi (d 1442) that while brass work inlaid with silver had been popular, in his day only a few metalworkers still produced such vessels, and others bought up inlaid vessels to remove their precious inlays. Barsbay nevertheless commissioned several magnificent manuscripts of the Koran, which were endowed to his madrasa (1424), one of three extant buildings he founded. The complex, in the centre of Fatimid Cairo, comprised a public fountain, primary school minaret, mausoleum and four-iwan madrasa. An original ceiling that has survived in the iwan opposite the qibla iwan is a colorful and richly gilded composition of gored domelets and intersecting six-lobed rosettes filled with strapwork and arabesque. Barsbay's mausoleum, mosque and khānaqāh in the eastern cemetery (1432) was an immense structure, conventional in design and ornament, but only part of it is preserved. He also ordered a congregational mosque (1437) in the town of al-Khanka north of Cairo.
