Book Description
The abundance and harmonious combination of art styles in the rich heritage of motifs and visual arts in the Hadramout Region in Southern Yemen are the outcomes of a long history of civilization, trade, and immigration. This book is the first to uncover the remaining 30 centuries-old of traditional motifs and visual arts found in artifacts, buildings, and in the daily activities of the locals that represent the rich cultural identity of the Hadramis —the people of Hadramout. This book features artifacts and traditions kept within the community for a long time due to their cultural sensitivity, especially the female body decoration. Now, for the first time, they will be shared with the public.
