The Bedouin Rabab



No, I do not play the instrument. I liked it for its simplicity and added it to my collection. I've read that this is the oldest known bowed instrument. Could probably be a great grand uncle to the violin.

Bar Toys - "DonKAY!!"





You got to hand it to them Chinese.
The donkey can hold and crap a full pack of cigarettes which go into the basket strapped on the back.
I picked this one up from Muscat some 20 years back.
Now it finds a place in the bar shelf.

The 10:10 clock

They say, thats when Abraham Lincoln was shot. Some call it the smiley face, others attribute it to plain simple aesthetics. My tribute to all the theories, the stories and myths, the 10:10 clock.
