RMN extracting strands of wool from the walnut husks at her home in Berzeen village

The image portrays RMN, a local resident of Berzeen village, carefully extracting wool strands from a vat of walnut husks as part of the traditional dyeing process. After being simmered to release their rich, natural dyes, the walnut husks have imbued the wool with deep earthy tones. RMN’s steady hands, immersed in the dye, demonstrate the intricate and labor-intensive nature of this artisanal craft. The image captures a key stage in the dyeing process, where the wool absorbs the natural pigments, creating a rich palette that reflects the region’s close relationship with nature.
