In Omani studies: Richardson & Dorr (2003) wrote that: "Hardwood is an important but limited material, used for small items such as camel saddles, tent posts and pegs, spindles, camel sticks and cross-bars for weaving looms. Two types of saddle tree are used in Oman. The sturdy shdad madalla', used for carrying heavy loads, is large, approximately 40 cm high and 35 cm across the base of the arch. The shdad katibi is smaller, approximately 20 cm high and 20 cm wide, and is used for travelling and ceremonial events. The shdad katibi is often intricately carved, and may feature brass inlay".
