Feature: Craftsmen try to salvage old Damascene crafts from extinction

A Syrian craftsman makes a mosaic piece in a workshop established in an ancient house called the Orient House in the al-Midan neighborhood in the capital Damascus on July 11, 2019. The Orient House provided shelters for several craftsmen who came together in 2018 bound with the love of their fathers' professions to revive such crafts and teach it to the new generation.
