An arid south-eastern province bordering Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Historical background

Pastoral and village production with distinct regional dyeing practice; documentation is thinner here than for the city traditions.

Major crafts

Markets and craft destinations documented here can be visited. Workshop access usually depends on the artisan; where a workshop receives visitors, that is noted on their profile.
