Salaams Kronckew~ In the same publication is the almost identical Qudum as the one shown by you.

Thank you. That makes things absolutely clear.
I also have this one. Is this a Qudum or a Jerz? The dimensions are the same as the smaller of the top two Jerz. Is it a modern rendition or simply a tourist piece? The weight of the head is same as the other Jerz, though as can be seen it looks as if it is nickel?? plated.
