Aden Bubble Carpets Chieftains Couch Divan Hookah Hubble Inlaid Nargile Octagonal Pearl Pipe Yemeni
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a group of local Arab Chiefs gathered around a large nargile pipe, or hookah, in what appears to be a grand room adorned with Eastern decor. The scene is set in Aden, Yemen, during the 1910s. The Chiefs, dressed in traditional garb, are a mix of seated and standing figures, their faces expressing a range of emotions from contemplative to engaged in conversation. The room is furnished with a plush divan, intricately inlaid with mother-of-pearl, and a low table laden with colorful cushions and a large, ornate rug. In the foreground, an octagonal table holds the nargile pipe, its bubbling hose extending towards one of the Chiefs, who takes a draw. The room is filled with the aroma of the sweet tobacco, a symbol of hospitality and friendship in this part of the world. The atmosphere is one of camaraderie and relaxation, a moment frozen in time in the rich cultural history of Yemen. The intricate details of the room, from the carved wooden panels to the ornate sword displayed on the wall, add to the sense of grandeur and tradition. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time and place far removed from our modern world.
