Saudi Doors as Art



These are old traditional Saudi objects that have been turned into modern art forms.  The incense burner in the left front and three sizes of Dallah (Saudi teapots) have all been mounted onto lovely decorated bases, while the Dallah on the left has been beautifully framed.  The miniature versions of traditional geometrically painted Saudi doors have transformed into gorgeous art, appropriate for hanging on the wall.  The studded frames around them really enhance the beauty of the doors.  Any of these would make lovely gifts, don't you think?

    1. I have seen them several places. I saw these at a cultural heritage shop in Riyadh. I think I have seen them in Jeddah also, but I cannot remember where. There are more and more souvenir shops opening up all over.
