A craftsmanship of wooden work .
In this bustling wooden artistry workshop, a dedicated artisan indulges in the rich tradition of Khatamband. With a masterful precision, he delicately places each wooden piece, shaping them into the intricate patterns that define this ancient art. His worn hands reflect years of commitment, skill, and passion for his craft. However, the toll of such meticulous work is evident as exhaustion creeps in, gently persuading the artisan into a momentary slumber. Surrounded by the tools of his trade – chisels, wooden pieces, and unfinished creations – he reclines, finding solace in rest amidst his unfinished masterpiece.
