1.Which part of their culture/lifestyle/practice/ makes you curious the most? Why? Its got to be the dedication and detail in the calligraphy(mix of chinese and islamic style), design in the weapons and armour, steel kettles, coins engravings, carpet designs, and steel pots.

2. Can you find something(object/conversation/image/incident) from this trip that represent the impression you have towards Islamic arts?















The level of detail put into this carpet, something to be walked on, and what do the designs represent or mean?

3. If you were to continue finding out more about Islamic art, list out 3 questions you would like to ask.

1) Did the designs on the armour vary for every other person? and if so what were they based on? what the warrior wanted or did the designs some how reflect his personality or how nortorious he was in battle?

2) Why did they spend so much time and effort into details of their armour and weapons especially since it has a good chance of being lost, or were they only designed and made for rich knights and nobles?


3) How did they create such intricate designs on steels pots and kettles and did they have any direct relation to themselves or their religion?
