Publisher's Note The diversity of the Arabian peninsula is seen not only in its landscapes and peoples, but also in its jewelry styles which differ markedly from state to state. The Sultanate of Oman possessed some of the most skilled silversmiths in Arabia. The silver jewelry they produced was of a quality and beauty unsurpassed in the Arab world. This book offers a superb introduction to the subject. Silver Jewellery of Oman provides full-color illustrations of Khanjars (the characteristic T-shaped dagger of Oman), necklaces, anklets, bracelets, hair decorations and earrings, together with a thorough and informative textual background to their history, manufacture and styles.
