Abstract

The image captures GLZ, HJG, and HAR in the process of carefully removing the warped threads from a secured spike in Ghufti village. The scene highlights the final stage of the warping process, where precision and teamwork are essential. The walnut dyed threads stretch across the grass, anchored between the loom beater and the spike, creating a striking visual of the traditional craft amidst a serene natural landscape. The women's synchronized movements emphasize the skill and care required to maintain the alignment and tension of the warp threads.
