Title EN: The Jartq tray is an intricately engraved wide tray made of copper. On it, there are three beautifully decorated red and black wooden vessels known as the 'hoq' of varying sizes designed for storing perfumes and Jertig tools. Adjacent to the vessels, there are cups containing fresh milk. An incense burner emits the delightful scents of incense which form the foundation of the al-Jertig ritual.
