TRADITIONAL STYLE SAUDI ACCESSORIES

These shiny gold jewelry fringes can be worn on veils, around the waist, or as necklaces

These cute necklace pendants are tiny niqabs

For little boys, the belted khanjar - traditional curved Saudi daggers

Sorry I haven't been visiting blogs - I'm busy packing to leave by the end of this month. I'll no longer be living here in Saudi Arabia and will just return in the future for short visits. So I'll be discontinuing my regular blogging soon.  

I've really enjoyed making friends all over the world through blogging and would like to thank you for your interest and questions about the country I have called home for the past 15 years.  It's been quite an adventure!  Much love and best wishes to you all!

Jeddah: The Khanjar Sculpture

I believe Abdulhalim Radwi is the sculptor of this Khanjar sculpture that is located in south central Jeddah.  The shape is the curved Saudi dagger called khanjar.  The painting design and colors are replicated in some of Radwi's other works he made for the City of Jeddah, including The Globe of Knowledge and Life as well as one called Silent Formation.
