Western artists and travellers alike showed great appreciation for the Cairene craftsmanship on offer in the city’s bustling streets. Among the many artefacts on view, jewellery certainly drew great attention, with hard, semi-precious stones set into colourful bracelets and necklaces. These types of pieces arouse the curiosity and attraction of passers-by.
