The Omaweian Style :
The islamic art was established in Beni
Omaiya`s age,The Omaweian style - which is related to them - was the first styles or
schools in the islamic art due to the nature of life and circumstances surrounded the age
of the prophet ( May peace be upon him ) and of the orthodox caliphs did not prepare the
islamic community in which art could flourish among them and to be characterized with

Beni Omaya took Damascus city a capital of the
islamic world, the artistic domination in their age was for the ( Bezentians), the Syrians
and other men of industry and art imitated by the Arabs ( the conquers) . And on the
shoulders of all , the Omaweian style in the islamic art was established .
Thus , it is a transition style from the Christian arts in the near east to the Abassian
style , yet this style was in some way affected with the sasani artistic styles that were
flourished in the near east when Islam appeared .
Thus the Ceramic elements for this style were a mix of total elements inherited from the
arts preceded it , as accuracy appears in drawing the plant and animal garniture, and the
attempt of presenting nature and other elements - by which the Bezentian arts
characterized- we find the effect of the sasani art in the engineer circled shapes and
some other decorative styles as drawing the two meeting animals or these backing each
other separated by the holy life's tree or immortality tree
