At Tawheed - Unification

Sesame Mill – Jizan

Painted by Gerhartd Liebmann

Here is a camel harnessed and tethered to grind grain with a heavy flail weighted with stones. Camels grind sesame seeds in the same way, but it is only in the south that camels are used thus. The circular reed huts in the painting (ushush) were once widespread in the Tihama coastal plain.
