Embroidery - This is one of the most important traditional crafts of Syrian women and one which has, in recent years, been incorporated into high fashion. Elegant gowns and jackets have been created using traditional needlework together with rich, Middle Eastern fabrics.
This art of embroidery has been carried over into the making of cushions, which grace the decor of many Syrian homes. Colors range from shades of red, maroon, purple and pink, with bright additions of green, orange and gold. Simple cross-stitch is the basis for a plethora of complicated designs and recurring motifs include trees, flowers, feathers, waves and geometric zig-zags or triangles.
Ceramics & Pottery - Syria has many natural clay deposits, which have been used for many centuries in the making of pottery. Early examples of pottery consisted of vessels for food storage, which had been sun-cured and baked in a pit fired with straw and dung. Large coil-and-slab pots, known as jarra, were originally used to store water or olive oil.
Jewelry - Jewelry has a long history in Syria. Stores of gold and silver jewelry dating from Roman times have been unearthed on various archaeological sites. Today, gold and silver jewelry is worn by all strata of society. The jewelry includes bracelets, chokers, rings, hair ornaments, long chains and rows of coins attached to necklaces or headdresses.
