147 The shop ("dukkan") is a square recess, or cell, generally about six or seven feet high, and between three and four feet in width ; or it consists of two cells, one behind the other, the inner one serving as a maga- zine. * The floor of the shop is even with the top of a " mastab'ah, " or raised seat of stone or brick, built against the front. This is usually about two feet and a half or three feet in height, and about the same in breadth. The front of the shop is furnished with folding shu...tters, commonly consisting of three leaves, one above another ; the uppermost of these is turned up in front; the two other leaves, sometimes folded together, are turned down upon the mastab'ah, and form an even seat, upon which is spread a mat or carpet, with, perhaps, a cushion or two. Some shops have folding doors instead of the shutters above described. The shopkeeper gene- rally sits upon the mastab'ah, unless he be obliged to retire a little way within his shop to make room for two or more customers, who mount up on the seat, taking off their shoes before they draw up their feet upon the mat or carpet.
