Tabun oven

A tabun oven, or simply tabun (also transliterated taboon, from the Arabic:طابون‎), is a clay oven, shaped like a truncated cone, with an opening at the bottom from which to stoke the fire. Built and used in pre-biblical and biblical times as the family, neighbourhood, or village oven, tabun ovens continue to be built and used in parts of the Middle East today. Nowadays some of the tabun ovens are also made out of metal.
