Arabic term

حشيّة

Arabic to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature
Hi everyone,

This is from a Lebanese text that mostly takes place in the village during the late 1900s.

Does it just mean a mattress? Or is it a mattress made of hay?

وقد تربعت فوق حشيتها العتيقة، على عتبة الباب، تكش الذباب في الصيف ....

Thanks!

That's what I'm trying to figure out! I think it's a mattress. So she'd sit crosslegged on an old mattress.

Context is Missing what does تربعت فوق حشيتها العتيقة
