Service Description

Paint a crazy procession in the desert! From al-Wasiti’s Maqamat al-Hariri. Trumpets, drums, banners, stomping feet and noise: travel in style. This is a rare Arab miniature class as we mostly focus on Indian, Persian and Turkish paintings so this is a chance to look at secular Arab manuscripts. The wily Abu Zayd travels around the Arab and Islamic world having encounters and deceiving people. We also get another insight into the world of the 1001 Nights.
