Artisanat - Le Tissage
L'artisanat confine à l'art même et ouvriers et ouvrières utilisent des techniques traditionnelles transmises depuis de nombreuses générations.
Le Liban possède la technique du tissage sur métier, d'une tradition artisanale et d'une richesse inventive originale. A Zouk, se trouve une école subventionnée par l'Etat ou un moniteur forme et perfectionne les ouvriers qui sont tisserands de père en fils, et utilisent le même genre de métier. On y fait d'admirables nappes brodées d'or et d'argent, sur fond de couleur, des étoles de sacs, des jetés de table et des abayas.

Art and Crafts - Weaving
Lebanon has its own tradition of hand-loom weaving, a tradition that displays great inventive skill. At Zouk there is a school subsidized by the state where an instructor gives advanced training to weavers who have inherited the craft from their fathers, using the same kind of loom. They weave beautiful cloths embroidered in gold and silver on a colored ground, shawls, bags, table runners and abayas.



Baalbeck: Temple "de Bacchus" plafond du péristyle

Les ruines de Baalbek, au milieu des vergers de la Bekaa à 1150m. d'altitude, forment un ensemble monumental d'une majesté saisissante.
Le temple "de Bacchus", construit au 2ème siècle de notre ère est encore presque intact. Sa décoration, fort bien conservée, est d'une finesse et d'une richesse incomparables. L'entablement des colonnes du péristyle est relié au mur de la cella par d'énormes dalles qui forment un plafond à caissons sculptées où sont représentées diverses divinités.

Baalbeck: Temple "of Bacchus" Ceiling of the peristyle

The ruins of Baalbeck stand among the orchards of the Bekaa at an altitude of nearly 4.000 feet.
The so-called "Temple of Bacchus", built in the second century A.D. is still almost intact. Its sculptured decoration, marvelously fine as well as rich, is also very well preserved. The entablature of the columns of epistyle is joined to the wall of the cells by enormous block forming a coffered ceiling decorated with sculptured representations of the gods.
