3 comments about Silver Jewelry of Oman.
- I bought two copies of this wonderful book a couple years ago and continually enjoy leafing through the pages. It gives the true collector and afficianado of ethnic jewelry an insight and appreciation of traditional and unique Omani Bedouin classic pieces that were fashioned for the most part, from the silver Maria Theresa dollar.These rare items are rapidly disappearing from their native country to Europe and the United States. Ms. Rajab has provided the world an excellent presentation in this book and I would highly recommend it for the serious collector.
- The trouble with this book is that it is very small and the photos inside are tiny. The text is interesting but I purchased the book for its photography, so I was not very pleased with it. Amazon accepted my return and refunded my money with no questions asked.
- Jehan Rajab, co-director of the Tareq Rajab Museum in Kuwait, gives us another fascinating glimpse of the museum's collection in this small but important publication.
"Silver Jewellery of Oman" is primarily a vehicle to display the awe inspiring silver jewellery held by the Rajab Museum, beautifully photographed and accompanied by informative text. From the intricate headdresses worn by Bedu women in Oman to the neckpieces from Sur which so closely resemble designs worn by the Hill tribes of Thailand, each piece of jewellery is lovingly displayed, often accompanied by images of Omani life captured on film by Tareq Rajab. This book is a must for any serious jewellery collector. The massive collection of silver jewellery at the museum is currently being catalogued. One would hope that further publications revealing other aspects of the Tareq Rajab Museum jewellery collection will soon be forthcoming. For readers interested in Middle Eastern jewellery, we recommend Jehan Rajab's 1989 "Palestinian Costume", which contains a chapter on 20th century Palestinian jewellery.
