This gadah (serving bowl) is made out of one piece of wood with four small ring-handles around the edge used to transport it and to minimise contact with the bowl and the food. It was used daily to serve food to the Emirs in the courtyard by the front gate of the Khalifa House. Wood with metal handles. A similar but larger bowl, with twelve rings on it, originally belonged to Wad Zaid of the Debenia and was taken from him by the Khalifa.
Presented by the Rt. Hon. The Earl of Cromer.
