EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite photograph captures the timeless beauty and rich history of Bethlehem, a city located in the West Bank, which was once an integral part of the Ottoman Empire. In this image, we see a local craftsman meticulously working on a piece of furniture adorned with intricate mother-of-pearl inlays. Mother-of-pearl, a precious material derived from the inner layer of mollusk shells, has been used for centuries in Bethlehem for the decoration of furniture and small decorative items. The craft of mother-of-pearl inlay is a skilled art form that requires great patience, precision, and dexterity. The artisan can be seen carefully cutting and fitting the delicate shells into place, using a saw to shape them to fit the contours of the wood. This painstaking process results in intricate patterns and designs that add an elegant and luxurious touch to the furniture. During the Ottoman Empire, Bethlehem was renowned for its mother-of-pearl inlay workshops, which attracted skilled craftsmen from across the region. The city's proximity to the Red Sea and the abundant supply of mollusk shells made it an ideal location for the manufacture of these decorative items. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when Bethlehem was a thriving center of craftsmanship and artistic expression. The mother-of-pearl inlay technique is still practiced in Bethlehem today, keeping alive the rich cultural heritage of this historic city.
