RMN Straining Walnut Husk Water into a Steel Pot of Dyed Wool in Berzeen Village
Abstract
This image captures RMN, a resident of Berzeen village in Garam Chashma valley, straining excess water from boiled walnut husks into a steel pot that already contains wool, freshly dyed using natural pigments. The rich brown liquid flows into the pot, intensifying the earthy tones absorbed by the wool. The scene showcases a critical stage in the traditional dyeing process, where the natural tannins from the walnut husks are used to impart color to the wool.
