Catalogue of the Oasis Museum, hall 3:
Handicraft
In the oasis, handmade craft production tries to fill local needs and the
demand of the nomad population in the area. The iron work is a labor undertaken specifically by the Black people. The
silversmith’s work was long ago a specialty of Hebrews. Carpentry and saddle making are both done by men as a job.
Women weave carpets and blankets and embroider shawls, not in a professional
way but as a complementary activity along with the housework. |
