Badawi Handcarved Box by Studio Inaara-Blue

This exquisite hand-carved box in mango wood was crafted at Studio Inaãra, drawing inspiration from the traditional Bedouin way of life (Badawī in Arabic, meaning Desert Dwellers). Part of our Zubarah Heritage collection, it depicts Qatari culture through Indian craftsmanship, highlighting the importance of the Badawī (the desert dwellers) who relied on camels as their main mode of transport in the harsh desert climate. The intricate designs and motifs surrounding the camel draw inspiration from Al-Sadu, an ancient Bedouin weaving technique that holds significant cultural value in Qatar and the Gulf Region.
