Cover for a Damascus mahmal
- ... that, on arriving at Mecca with a pilgrim caravan, the mahmal was given an elaborate fabric covering (example pictured)? "During the journey it was covered in simple cloths.

This interesting article is new enough and long enough. The image is suitably licensed, the hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral, and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:24, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
