Chaque face est ornée d'un médaillon représentant la Ka'ba et la mosquée de Médine. La Mecque, 1916. H. 30,5 cm Inscriptions : Fakhreddin Pasha 1134AH.; Mecca al-Mukarrama; Madina al-Munawara An ivory and tortoieshell inlaid wood pilgrim flask (Matara) made for Fakhreddin Pasha, Mecca, dated 1334AH/1916AD. the bulbous body with two spouts linked to a central, larger spout, on three small feet, decorated in ivory, bone, tortoiseshell and wood with coral studs and floral carvings, the roundels on the body depicting the Ka'ba and Masjid al-Nabawi, split palmettes to sides, with inscriptions and later leather straps. Dernier gouverneur ottoman de Médine (1915-1919), Fakhreddinn Pacha (1868-1948), dont le nom figure sur cet élégant flacon de pèlerin est connu sous le nom de "Défenseur de Médine" et "Lion du désert". Il commence sa carrière militaire en 1886 lorsqu'il s'inscrit à l'Académie militaire de Turquie. Les illustrations de La Mecque et de Médine sur ce flacon font très probablement référence à sa nomination au titre de commandant du corps expéditionnaire du Hijaz en 1916. Étant donné les représentations de La Mecque et de Médine, ce flacon était probablement destiné à transporter l’eau bénite de zamzam. L'eau de la source de Zamzam a pour réputation d'améliorer le bien-être physique et spirituel et joue un rôle important dans le Hajj pour les pèlerins qui la prennent et la ramènent pour des invités de marque et des êtres chers. Ce flacon a dû être un cadeau diplomatique présenté à Fakhreddin pour sa nomination Last governor of Medina between 1915 and 1919, Fakhreddinn Pasha (1868-1948), whose name features on this elaborate pilgrim flask, is known as the "Defender of Medina" and "Lion of the desert". He began his military career in 1886 when he enrolled in the Turkish war Academy. The illustrations of Mecca and Medina on this flask most probably refer to his appointment as commander of the Hijaz expeditionary force in 1916. Given the depictions and the holy associations of Mecca and Medina, it is also likely this vessel would have carried the holy zamzam water. Water from Zamzam spring is believed to enhance physical and spiritual well-being and plays an important tole in the Hajj for pilgrims who partake in it and bring it back for honoured guests and loved ones. This flask must have been a diplomatic gift presented to Fakhreddin for his appointment.
