Abstract

This image captures PNG and RMN, seated on a woven mat in Berzeen village as they sort through piles of wool. One woman holds a bundle of undyed wool in her hand, while a large pile of wool that has been naturally dyed using walnut husks lies on the floor beside her. The contrast between the undyed and richly coloured wool shows the progression of the dyeing process, reflecting the artisanal craftsmanship passed down through generations in the Chitral region
