Item. Lithographic print showing objects and utensils commonly used in Mecca, such as water and coffee pitchers, saucers, jugs, vases, basins, bowls, a feeding stick, a waistband, incense burners, and a comb. The items are drawn from the collection of Snouck Hugronje. No Known Copyright Title and date from item. Plate 37 in Bilder-Atlas zu Mekka (Haag : Martinus Nijhoff, 1888-1889). The plate is numbered (XXXVII). The image is printed onto a 2-pages folded sheet featuring two plates. Printed beneath image, in ink: in lower right corner: ‘ex. coll. auct.’ (ex collectione auctoris, [drawn] from the collection of the author) and in the lower left corner: ‘P.W.M. Trap exc.’ (Pieter Willem Marinus Trap excudit, Pieter Willem Marinus Trap engraved). The objects are itemized in the list of plates at the beginning of the volume. Each object is identified by a number, which refers to elements in this list, that is: 1. Ghèllâjah (Wasserkrug); 2. Dôraq (Krug für Zemzemwasser); 3.,5.,6. Schèrbah's (Wasserkrüge); 4. Ibrîq (Wasserkanne für Ablutionen); 7. Qullah (Wasserkrug); 8. Rub‘î (Wasserkrug; die Form gilt als specifisch mekkanisch); 9. Kânûn (Kohlenfass aus Thon; dient als tragbarer Ofen); 10. Mènqèl (irdenes Becken zum Verbrennen von wohlriechendem Holz); 11.,12. Schèrbah's (Kaffeekrüge der Beduinen); 13. Findjân (Kaffeenäpfchen der Beduinen); 14.,15. Muscht haqq èr-ridjâl und M[uscht] haqq èl-harîm (Männer- und Frauenkamm); 16. Medakk (hölzernes Einziehestäbchen, womit die Dikkeh in die Koulisse der Beinkleider gebracht wird); 17. Mibcharah (Weihrauchbecken); 18. Merassch (Vase zum Besprengen mit Rosenwasser); 19. Qèdah (hölzerrne Trinkschale). The number ‘19’ appears erroneously adjacent to two of the objects, at right and left, while ‘9’ is omitted. A note at the foot of the itemized list of plates explains that the ‘19’ on the left is an error and should refer to number ‘9’. Another note mentions that more information on those objects can be found in the essay by Snouck Hurgronje titled "Ethnographisches aus Mekka", which was published in "Internationales Archiv für Ethnographie" (Vol. I, Leiden, 1888).
