Dry Wadis Necktie - Silk - $50.00

This TerraTie features the dry drainage valleys or "wadis" located in Yemen on the Arabian Peninsula. This landscape is a good example of the relict effect of a previous climate change. Between 17,000 and 35,000 years ago, heavy precipitation allowed the formation of the drainage pattern. During that period, pre-domesticated cattle and hippoptamuses fed on lush vegetation found along many shallow lakes. The region slowly experienced increasing periods of aridity, the most recent being the past 6,000 years. Today, this landscape receives less than three inches of rainfall annually.
