THE ARTISANAL LIFE

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.

With this beautiful piece of hand-carved finesse, we celebrate yet another significant aspect of Qatar's culture. Falconry, deeply intertwined with Bedouin traditions and the way of life in Qatar, holds a profound significance. Falconry wasn't merely a means of hunting for the Bedouins; it was a cherished cultural tradition that played a central role in their lives. Falcons were highly prized and revered, symbolizing nobility, strength, and freedom. The practice of falconry was passed down through generations, with knowledge and skills carefully transmitted within families. Bedouin falconers, known as "muqābil al-saqr" (مقابل الصقر), developed close bonds with their birds, employing intricate training techniques passed down through generations to hone their falcons' hunting abilities. Falcons are more than mere birds of prey; they represent dignity, valor, and pride in Qatar. To delve deeper into the rich history of falconry in Qatar, one can visit the Falcon Souq & Hospital located in Souq Waqif. Here, visitors can explore exhibits, learn about traditional falconry practices, and witness firsthand the cultural significance of falconry in Qatari society.
