About Me
- Urang Awak
- Hi welcome to my DP blog! I am an Indonesian living and working in Bahrain, the smallest Arab nation in the Gulf. Despite the harsh weather and unfriendly dry landscape, living in Bahrain is quite nice. There are Malls, the city Shouks, Parks and Historical places we can visit. Most pictures are taken with digital camera and sometime with cell phone and some are donated from good friends. They might not be in their best result and capacity but feel free and be generous to give your comment! Halah :P

Fascinating, what type of metal plating is on the outside?
What is it in the chest?
Don't tell me it's a heart :).
Is there where they keep an old Al-Qur'an?
@ Brad, it is brass plated work and typically middle eastern in both design and shape. it is there only for decorative purposes and nowadays, antic collector display them as table, home decoration and collection ofcourse.
@ Henny, thanks for asking. I believe that this box was used to be a dowry box in Middle East but nowadays it is used for decorative reason. for keeping Old Holy Quran, I am afraid not! its considered unrespectful to keep the holy Quran there. Most of the collections are framed in glasses box or frame.
Let me imagine the dowry :P.
