Pakistan is a
treasure house of exquisite handicrafts. The artisans here pass down the
expertise from one generation to another. Weaving, pottery, tile-work,
inlays in metal, wood and stone, are all found here. Pottery here is a
living art, with its origins dating back to 3,000 B.C. Today, each
region of Pakistan claims its own specialty in jars and jugs, from
sturdy terracotta to paper-thin ceramics, in vivid colors of mustard
yellow, deep green, brick red and sky blue. For those who are keen
shoppers, the prices are quite reasonable. You will find yourself
returning home with hand-woven carpets, marble pieces, copper and brass
items, woodwork, embroidered “Kurtas” and “Khussas” and countless
objects d’art. |
