Your comment put the biggest smile on my f...@<a href="#c4168878118995688448" rel="nofollow">sarah</a><br /><br />Your comment put the biggest smile on my face. Even though I just joined the DAI team, it makes me so happy to know you feel that way about DAI. <br /><br />They really do try their best and what is important is DAI's main aim is to educate the public. And there's nothing more important than that. Even the people working at DAI, including myself, are constantly learning new things from the lectures. <br /><br />DAI has plans to keep growing so I hope you will continue to be a friend and supporter.<br /><br />Thank you Sarah for this wonderful comment.DAIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16132604366654992720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6529181331347506646.post-41688781189956884482010-12-04T00:35:13.166+03:002010-12-04T00:35:13.166+03:00Thanks Haya,
Yes it does answer my question!
and t...Thanks Haya,<br />Yes it does answer my question!<br />and thanks for the link to the document... <br /><br />I have to admit that since I have put my luggage down in Kuwait, I have learnt so much with the help of the DAI. Lecture after lecture, (some very interesting, others, sometimes, soporific) but I have accumulated such a wider exposure to culture and arts under the Islamic stamp. <br />And I can't thank the DAI enough...<br />Let it be known that some friends of DAI benefit deeply and profoundly from what is offered. The DAI might not have a way to measure the impact of lectures on the audience, but it is an incredible learning tool with an extraordinary quality of lecturers.sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11345382125846700249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6529181331347506646.post-50334120340963213182010-12-02T08:57:59.330+03:002010-12-02T08:57:59.330+03:00@sarahHey Sarah
Thank you for your comment!
I apo...@<a href="#c538335768491222467" rel="nofollow">sarah</a>Hey Sarah<br /><br />Thank you for your comment!<br />I apologize for the late reply. <br /><br />Now the "sarpech" is defined as a turban ornament and the "jigha" is a jeweled turban ornament. An "aigrette" is just another term but is used in Europe. It refers to a headdress or hair ornament which is in the form of jeweled feathers or a brooch attached to feathers. <br /><br />The aigrette is shaped differently from the common curved feather-like sarpech worn by the Mughals. <br /><br />Mughal rulers were actually aware of European aigrettes and admired them. As seen in this painting! <br /><br />https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B3owdMe1fSxBZTE2M2FlNTQtMmM1My00ZDA1LWJhMDEtNDdkYjcyZmNhYzE1&hl=en<br /><br />I hope this answers your question.DAIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16132604366654992720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6529181331347506646.post-5383357684912224672010-11-29T22:58:03.290+03:002010-11-29T22:58:03.290+03:00Dear Haya,
Thank you for all your efforts at givi...Dear Haya, <br />Thank you for all your efforts at giving a glimpse of what the al Sabah collection has. <br />Would you know what is the difference between "the sharpeh and jirgah" and the "aigrette" of the ottoman style (beside the geographical and historical difference of course) ?<br /><br />http://artforarabs.blogspot.com/2010/01/aigrette-from-topkapi-to-paris.htmlsarahhttp://artforarabs.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
