DESCRIPTION:Far from being the most commonly studied form of Islamic art\, 
 “jewellery is among the oldest form of decorative art”[1] in Muslim societ
 ies\, and has a deep and long history in different parts of the Muslim Wor
 ld. The one thousand years time span and the many regional Muslim cultures
  represented make it difficult to generalize on the place and role of jewe
 llery in Muslim Societies[2].\n\nIndeed\, techniques and styles of manufac
 ture of Islamic jewellery were strongly rooted in pre-Islamic and local ar
 tistic traditions (Pharaonic\, Greek\, Byzantine\, etc.). The many functio
 ns of jewellery included personal ornamentation\, distinction from others\
 , display of wealth showing one’s place in the social hierarchy\, and indi
 vidual protection[3] (i.e. amulets and talismans). Last\, attitudes toward
 s the wearing and manufacture of jewellery fluctuated overtime (ranging fr
 om institutionalization to proscription)\, reflecting the variety of local
  cultural\, political and religious practices.\n\nIn this exhibition\, we 
 will show different types jewellery manufactured and worn in the many area
 s of the Muslim World. The display intends to give a glimpse of an incredi
 bly rich yet relatively unknown Islamic artistic tradition while highlight
 ing beautifully illustrated arts books from the Islamic Studies Library co
 llection.\n\nThe Art of Adornment: Selections of Jewellery from the Islami
 c Era exhibition is accessible Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and 
 Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the main floor of the Islamic Studies Lib
 rary from March 1 to August 31\, 2023.\n\n\n	 \n	\n		[1] Dowe\, Badriya Yasmee
