Al-Qatt Al-Asiri

Al-Qatt al-Asiri, also referred to as Nagsh or al-Zayyaan, is a style of South Arabian interior architectural art style, typically painted by women in the entrance to a home. It originated in Asir where the front parlour of traditional Arab homes typically contained wall paintings in the form of a mural or fresco with geometric designs in bright colors. Called nagash in Arabic, the wall paintings are often considered a mark of pride. In 2017, Al-Qatt Al-Asiri was inscribed on UNESCO's list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
