These 19th cent Turkish wooden bath clogs were worn by women to avoid slipping on the floor of the hammam, or bath house, used by Muslims to bathe before Friday prayers. Their Arabic name, #qabqab, derives from the clacking #noise they made on the marble floors.
You can see this pair of Qabqabs in the Islamic gallery of the British Museum in London.

Our 2022 Book We Stuck the Most Post-Its Inside was, hands down, Sounds Wild and Broken by David George Haskell. This marvel of a book reinvigorated the work we’re doing on the revised 4th Edition of the museum’s Gallery Guide & provided many new perspectives on sounds & listening. Can’t recommend it enough.
