طبز

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

This is from a Sudanese text. A truck has come into the village for the first time, and all the children are crowding around it to get a look.
I'm finding different meanings for this word based on the context, and not sure how to translate it here.

يلمسون إطاراته ويستمتع الصغار بطبز عينيه الزجاجية الكبيرة دون أن يرمش

Thanks!
