Brass basin. If a little ornamented, so much the better. Flat ones are preferred.
Looking-glasses. In stamped brass and other gaudy frames; and a small kind in little brass boxes called Lamma in Tripoli, are much admired.
Swords. Very long, straight, and double edged; bought greedily by the Tuarick.
Guns and pistols. Seldom taken, as they are not easily carried in bales.
Morgoom. Which is the long striped carpet, made by the Arabs near Tripoli, and at Mesurāta on the sea-coast.
Turkey carpets or rugs, of about six or eight feet in length and three in breadth, called Sejaada.
Kaftans, of silk and cotton in stripes, or red cloth, as gaudy and cheap as possible: these meet with a ready sale.
Caps, of the manufactory of Tunis, long, and having large tassels hanging from the crown.
Bornoose. Large red mantles, some ornamented with silk or gold lace.
Horses, which, if tall, will sell very readily for fifteen, or even in some places twenty negresses. Though the purchasers take the trouble to look at their teeth, they scarcely know a colt from an old horse. All animals of an imposing appearance, and long legs, are eagerly purchased.
