Handicrafts and art industry represent culture, tradition and
creativity of the people of Isfahan. Miniature painting, carving, mosaic and inlaid
art crafts are traditional arts which flourished in the Safavid era. Inlaid art
crafts consist of objects with small wooden triangles in regular geometric
forms. Inlaid art works in geometric patterns are composed of triangles made up
of ivory, camel bone, wood, brass and wire. Many products such as picture
frames, jewelry boxes, cigarette boxes, pipes and album covers are decorated
with this intricate inlaid work. You can visit Qeytariye bazar in Isfahan and spend
some hours in this historical yet alive atmosphere which seems to be a great
experience while traveling in Iran and enjoy watching and buying these
marvelous handicrafts.
