Kusayr Amra Sarayı Fresklerinde Zanaatkâr Sahneleri

A unique depiction of craftsmen in early Islamic art emerges from the frescoes of Quseir Amra Palace, likely commissioned by Caliph Walid bin Yazid. The study analyzes 32 panels in the Restoration Hall's ceiling, illustrating diverse trades such as carpentry, blacksmithing, stone-cutting, and mortar preparation. These frescoes stand out for their rare portrayal of laborers, offering insights into Emevi period craftsmanship techniques and decorative motifs. The research also explores the stylistic influences and thematic connections to other palace decorations, suggesting a broader narrative glorifying the caliph's rule.
