Abstract

This image shows HJG and GLZ in Ghufti village collaboratively securing the final warp threads onto the loom. The women carefully adjust and prepare the hand-woven woolen warp, which is bundled on the loom for the next stage of traditional weaving. Their coordinated effort and focus highlight the deep-rooted skill and teamwork involved in this labor-intensive craft, reflecting cultural practices passed down through generations.
