Majan Gahwa Cups - set of 6

The Al Magan Collection:

A set of six Gahwa cups narrates the fascinating story of copper and diorite mining in the UAE, a practice that dates back over 4,000 years and continues to hold economic significance today.

From the rugged Hajar Mountains, copper ore was once extracted, smelted in furnaces, and carefully cast into ingots, tools, and various crafted items. These were then carried by camel caravans to the coast, where they were loaded onto ships bound for Mesopotamia, a journey that demanded remarkable skill and navigation across coastal waters and open seas.
