Meet him. A young Emirati boy wearing the Hamdaniyya, a wrapped turban where the ends of the scarf are wound tightly around the head and tucked in, worn without a cord. A style favoured by many young Emirati boys and men, it carries a quiet sense of identity and pride. Illustrated with warmth and playfulness by Emirati artist Amna Al Saleh, he is instantly recognisable to anyone who has ever lived in, visited or loved the UAE.

This beautifully handmade cotton ornament is printed to both the front and back and hand-stitched with polyester stuffing. Compact, lightweight and completely non-breakable, he is perfect for gift toppers, Ramadan and Eid garlands, popped on a tree during the festive season and other holiday decorations, bag charms, car mirror decorations or year-round accessories. Compact enough to tuck into any suitcase as a souvenir of the Emirates.

As each piece is handmade there will be slight, beautiful variations between ornaments. No two are exactly alike.

Why this makes a perfect gift: A charming, culturally meaningful gift for children and adults alike. Perfect for Ramadan, Eid, farewell gifts, travel gifts and anyone who wants to take a little piece of Emirati culture home with them.
