Looking at the pr...Well, hello again '5oya Tim<br /><br />Looking at the previous cassette post, I also realised that you liked the label and the cassette's casing. If anything, these small record labels in Morocco's heartland are very simplistic: The Sout el-Hauz one features on its label an actual '<i>hauz</i>; which is a large water reservoir, usually made from concrete, and is flanked by two, tall palm trees in the logo.<br /><br />Samewise, this logo here represents what the city of Fes means in the Arabic language: it's a <i>fes</i>, or a <i>fa's</i> in formalese, and it means a pick-axe; mattock, earth pick, etc and the makers of the J-Card did place a graphic representation of this agri-tool right in the middle of the letterings.<br /><br />H.H.Hammerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09462766826817071023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192815591353027968.post-65035582835594693672013-11-23T23:23:06.997-08:002013-11-23T23:23:06.997-08:00Hello, Tim

I think it signifies the rurality of Moroccan weddings and life in general. Also, marriage in Islamic tradition is referred to as 'ploughing'; or حرث in Arabic. So, usually such images of <i>rif</i>-related ploughing tools are depictable when it comes to aligning these with weddings and sexual conjointment, generally.<br /><br />Nice, consecutive posts and cassettes. Very commendable work, really.<br /><br />H.H.Hammerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09462766826817071023noreply@blogger.com
