Oman is a very beautiful place, every one who visits here is pleasantly surprised from the beauty of this place. Be it scenic sights or man made structures, all of them glorify and charms us.
Last week along with a friend I visited one of the local mosque, the mosque was very beautiful, and some of the designs there were really a marvel to see. What fascinated me was the corridor part which had some beautiful wall niches made with designs influenced from different traditions.
If you have one look at them, they will look almost similar, but a closer glance you will see how each one has different designs very intricately done and a reflection of different cultures around the world. The are made from a combination of glazed and unglazed bricks so you will see how the designs stands out for each one of them.
These particular ones are influenced from Central Asia, that is the regions Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. Intricate designs have been created with a blend of Chinese and Islamic motif designs
These designs below are influenced from Western and Eastern Islamic Art. They are a mixture of geometric and floral designs. There is a lot of blue and gold color used in these designs, they give a 3 dimensional effect. These are the best ones I liked.
The beauty of these Niches were that there were 2 identical facing each other, must have been so much of an effort and hard work making them. People who must have created them must be so skillful.
Hope you all enjoyed these pictures.
