- OH BOY HERE WE GO AGAIN
The clock is a Turquerie (Ottoman-evoking) object! Turquerie objects are artistic depictions in fabric, porcelain, tea sets, buildings, etc, of the aesthetic of the Ottoman Turkish culture, through the eyes of Europeans. I imagine Zeynel collects some of these in his house because they are hilarious in their naivete, but they are often the only objects closest to reminders of home that he can obtain.
