Sixty-year-old Mohammad Hanief, the last master craftsman of Kashmir’s centuries-old turquoise jewelry-making tradition, is struggling to keep the dying art alive. With no other artisan left to practice the rare craft, locally known as Ferozi, Hanief, a resident of Fatehkadal in Srinagar’s old city, fears the tradition will vanish with him. Dwindling demand and a lack of government support have pushed the art form to the brink of extinction. | Daily Excelsior
