I think I know what you mean. However, the 20th century variant of the shula really does not look like these so called " ceremonial nimcha's " .
Like I said in my previous post; according to Tirri these ceremonial items come from Algiers. On the other hand, many describe these items as " ceremonial nimchas' " thus originating from Morocco.
just my 2 euro cents.
In the very near future I woll post pictures of my collection of koummya's, shula's and related items.
