MHW Securing Threads to the Loom in his village in Ghufti
Abstract
The image captures MHW as he crouches to secure threads to the base of the wooden loom, ensuring they are tightly fastened for weaving. It shows the care involved in this traditional craft. The loom, visible in the background, showcases the walnut-dyed threads ready for the next stage of the process. The rustic setting, with its earthen walls and wooden tools, embodies the authenticity of the rural workshop and the deep connection to heritage weaving practices.
