Frescobaldi explained

Glass Vessels and jewelry Workshops Glass bangles and beads dated to late antiquity were among the material excavated from the necropolis at Tyre.38 Al-Maqdisi believes that glass bead production was Common during the 10th century.39 Twisted bangles decorated with patches or with an inner colored cable have been identified among the collections of bracelets discovered in the late Ottoman workshops at Hebron in 1873 and stored in the 脰sterreichisches Museum f眉r Angewandte Kunst in Vienna.40 The glass production area is called the "Harat Ksassy."41

The well-known traveler Frescobaldi explained that, in Hebron, "ils font le premier mod猫le de verre ... et plus qu'il n'ait jamais vu."42 During the 15th century, Anselmo Adorno reported that "sont faits tous les objets de verre trouv茅s en Syrie et au Caire."43 Between 1783 and 1787, Volney described Hebron as "une verrerie fort ancienne, la seule qui existe en Syrie. Il en sort une grande quantit茅 d'anneaux color茅s, de bracelets pour les poignets, pour les tiffany bracelet, pour le bras au-dessus du coude, et diverses autres bagatelles que Ton envoie jusqu'脿 Constantinople. Au moyen de ces branches d'industrie, Habroun est le plus puissant village de ces canton."44

In 1851, Ch. de Pardieu stated that al-Khalil is "Bead bracelet maintenant pour ses verreries. On y fabrique beaucoup de vases, d'ornements pour la toilette des femmes arabes, de bracelets en verroterie qu'on exp茅die assez loin. "45"FOREIGN" WORKSHOPSWe will focus on workshops in Yemen and India, since parallels have been found there for the Jordanian bangles.Yemen

In Yemen, bangles have been found with single prunts tiffany jewellery by diagonal lines (lozenges), and with crumbs and speckled decoration. Several examples with spirally twisted cables were discovered among the bangles from Shihr and among those found at Kawd am-Saila, but the latter had only inner cables. At Shihr, excavations produced more than 550 bangle fragments together with glassy slags of a color similar to that of most of the fragments and numerous crucibles, suggesting local production of at least part of this material. Local workshops were identified by Monod in 1978 and described by him as follows: "J'ai eu l'occasion cette ann茅e de visiter un atelier ancien de verriers proche d'Aden, o霉 l'on fabriquait des bracelets souvent tr猫s semblables 脿 ceux que j'avais recueillis en Erythr茅e."46India, Asia, and Southeastern Asia
