they are a sort of Islamic wooden art like windows & you can still see a lot of them in Cairo / Egypt in places like , El-Hussein , El-Saiyedah Zainab , Bait El-Sehaimy & others.

they were called Mashrabiyah becuse people used to put pottery pots full of water to be cooled by air.

and Yashrab = Drinks & it was derived > Mashrabiah.

here is a picture of thoes pots ( Called Qolah in Arabic ).
