His grandfather started adding naqashi designs on camel leather in 1910.
It’s become a staple in Multan, Pakistan. But the younger generation is no longer interested in the trade.
Artisans in Multan, Pakistan, are famous for making camel-skin lamps using a naqashi painting technique that goes back 900 years. In 1910, Ustad Abdullah Naqash started doing naqashi art on camel skin. Today, his grandson, Malik Abdul Rehman Naqash, is keeping the tradition going.
