Re: Embroidery around the world
Beautiful Uzbek gold embroidery on a robe. Modern reconstruction of Uzbek traditional attire. These needlework patterns are very typical for Uzbekistan and often occur on the local folk clothes.

Re: Tapestry and carpet weaving
Simple vintage tapestry loom. It’s a minimalist frame loom with warp threads tightly attached to the frame, and you push a yarn needle or even a thread (weft) using only your fingers between the right warp threads to create a pattern.

Emirati face masks
Emirati battoulah or burqa mask on a young woman. It is prettily decorated with chains and jewels. The battoulah is worn underneath the niqab to ease breathing and protect the face from burning sun.
