Ghalam Zani (Engraving)

Ghalam Zani, or Persian engraving, is a traditional art form that intricately carves designs into metals like copper, brass, silver, and gold. Originating during the Sassanid era, this craft has flourished in Isfahan, which remains the heart of Ghalam Zani today. The art features elaborate patterns, often inspired by nature and Persian poetry, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Iran. Recognized by UNESCO, Ghalam Zani continues to be practiced by skilled artisans, preserving its legacy for future generations.
