Craft Story
In Jammu and Kashmir, India, Tortoise Shell Carving has been practised for generations — a bone, horn & shell craft passed quietly from parent to child. Each piece is worked in horn and inlay work, a slow process measured in days rather than hours. No two are ever identical; every small variation is the mark of a human hand.
