Traditional Weaving in Oman by Jay and Marjory Kapenga

Omani rugs and woven crafts are a beautiful part of the country’s cultural heritage, but the tradition is slowly disappearing due to modernization, imported machine-made textiles, and changing economic opportunities. This book by longtime Oman residents Jay and Marjory Kapenga documents the country’s traditional weaving techniques, looms, terminology, regional variations, and finished works through detailed descriptions, diagrams, and photographs, preserving this important artistic tradition for future generations.
