Featuring original and archival photography, Crafts of the Kingdom: Culture and Creativity in Saudi Arabia showcases the nation's unique craft traditions and the master artisans who produce the Kingdom's rich handicrafts. This introspective title introduces the intricate embroidery of traditional Saudi dress; the precise incisions of woodworked objects; the fine textures of woven textiles; and much more - all of it made by hand, and thus bearing the mark of its artisan maker. A journey across Saudi Arabia - from the capital city of Riyadh to the mountainous Al Baha region and the historic district of Jeddah - this book highlights the abundant traditions existent in each of the Kingdom's regions while revealing each craft's historic roots and modern interpretations. What emerges is a portrait of Saudi Arabia as a nation whose cultural heritage and diverse creativity has been proudly cherished, reverently preserved, and profoundly influential from ancient days to modern times.
