Sultan Qaboos Bin Said Collection Catalogue: Fifty Treasures for Fifty Years of Reign, (Hardcover)

Oman's late Sultan Qaboos bin Said was an innovator. A beautifully illustrated story told through fifty objects. This is the first time that many have been shown to the public.

A visionary leader and a charming diplomat, this catalog unveils a largely private collection of objects belonging to His Highness the late Sultan Qaboos bin Said of Oman. The 50 artifacts from the Renaissance collection, currently held in the National Museum of Oman, have been chosen to offer an intimate portrait of the Sultan's 50-year reign. The collection showcases treasures - many seen here for the first time - received from friends and rulers worldwide as well as symbolic objects that reflect the early years of Oman's independence. Through 50 significant objects and the elegant integration of the Sultan's own inspiring quotes as calligraphy, this beautifully illustrated book provides a unique and personal perspective on a transformative era.
