Endangered woodcarving in Iran’s Mazandaran

Special type of woodcarving known as Lak-Tarashi decorates Iranian houses in Mazandaran Province.

The centuries-old artwork made by skilled Iranian artisans is one of the most pivotal arts in the northern province of Mazandaran.

 The woodenware shaped through Lak-Tarashi includes kitchen utensils, cupboards and chests, among others.

Since plastic and metal kitchenware is a staple in many Iranian houses these days, the endangered art needs to be safeguarded with just a few people having the know-how of this ancient art.
