Cultural-Artistic Journey to the Cities of Nizwa and Bahla

Flight of Clay and Art: Bonds Between Nishapur’s and Oman’s Potters  
A Literary Report on a Cultural-Artistic Journey  

In the Nowruz caravan of art,  
From the land of Nishapur, Khayyam’s city and its celestial jars, to the valleys of Nizwa and Bahla’,  
Where ancient fortresses guard millennial secrets in their bricks.  
We journeyed in robes of pottery—  
This borderless art,  
With a shared language from Nishapur’s kiln-tenders  
To Bahla’s engravers.  

Outcomes of the Journey:  
1. Discovering the Connection:  
Amidst all the dialogues,  
One word rose tall: *"Pottery."*  
That familiar craft binding Nishapur’s breeze-kissed soil  
To Bahla’s red valley clay.  

2. Artisans’ Dialogue:  
Our embossed motifs  
Conversed with the clay-script of Omani craftsmen;  
We spoke of turquoise glaze’s hidden whispers,  
They shared secrets of geometric crimson patterns on fortress walls.  

3. A Pact for the Future:  
Upon the platforms of blazing kilns,  
We pledged to:  
- Hold joint mold-making workshops,  
- Continue clay’s dance on shared enamel,
