Group of three clay praying plaques (turbah)
Middle East, 19th - 20th century
Lot consisting of three dry clay plaques decorated with sacred monuments of the Islamic religion (the Dome of the Rock and the Mosque of Medina) and the last one with Arabic inscriptions. Tablets of this type are mainly used in Shiite circles as an aid for prayer as one of the prescriptions requires prostration to take place on the ground or on a natural element in the absence of soil. These tablets are therefore used as substitutes for soil.
H. 7,5 cm (the largest)
