Hunzakuts
Hardworking Hunza people are artists of their own kind.. you will find the art many had forbidden because of socio-economic issues and the amount of dedication and handwork desired to it. Woodwork is one of it. Still making spoons, forks, musical instruments and traditional show pieces with their own hands.. Normally using the wood of Walnut & Apricot tree.
Something I learned about the Hunzakuts, as the people of Hunza are known, is that they are co-operative rather than competitive. The economy used to be entirely self-sufficient, but this is rapidly changing as the Karakoram Highway open up the valley to the outside world.
Bought a set of spoons made of walnut wood.. still could be seen over the dinner at home...
Taken: Hunzo-E-Hayan a shop in Central Karimabad, Hunza, Northern Areas of Pakistan
