【香炉】卡塔尔几乎每个家庭都有香炉，每逢红白喜事或亲友来访，都喜欢用香炉薰香。香炉不是铜制，也不是木制，而是用从海底开采出来的石灰石制成。质地细腻而有光泽，颇似玉石，上面雕刻着各种精美的几何图案，有的雕刻骆驼、椰枣树或采珠船。
【阿拉伯地毯】阿拉伯地毯有着悠久的历史。早在2000多年前，在阿拉伯半岛上的贝都因人就开始编织和使用适于逐水草而居的地毯。早期阿拉伯人制造地毯就非常讲究，他们以上等羊毛作原料，在自制的机架上手工织毯。地毯的图案服从于他们的装饰和审美需要，多取材于阿拉伯人喜欢的玫瑰花、郁金香、波斯梨等花果，颜色多为红色、绿色和蓝色。用金丝金线织成的地毯非常昂贵，一块长1.5米、宽1米的价值往往高达10万美元。
【金线刺绣】金线刺绣是卡塔尔人的一种精美的民间艺术，它在当地和海湾其它阿拉伯国家中都很流行。用金丝线刺绣的布料可以缝制妇女们喜欢的漂亮的服装和男女用的无袖斗篷。 |
