Camel Skin Lamp Making Process | Made in Pakistan | Discover Pakistan

In Multan, Pakistan, the art of crafting camel skin lamps embodies centuries-old tradition and exquisite craftsmanship. The process begins with the procurement of camel hides, sourced from animals primarily used for meat. Skilled artisans meticulously treat these hides, removing flesh, hair, and excess tissue, before soaking them in water to soften the skin. With careful precision, artisans sketch intricate designs on the supple camel skin, depicting traditional motifs and local cultural elements. These designs, often reflecting local flora, fauna, geometric patterns, or symbolic representations, are then painstakingly cut into the softened hide. Vibrant dyes, extracted from natural sources or synthetic colors, are applied to fill these patterns, ensuring the colors remain vivid and true to the intended design. Meanwhile, a frame for the lamp, constructed from metal or wood, is prepared to serve as the foundation for the camel skin. The dyed and decorated camel skin is then carefully stretched and affixed onto this frame, using techniques like stitching or adhesion, ensuring a snug fit that showcases the artwork without distortion. Once secured, artisans conduct meticulous touch-ups and final adjustments to ensure structural integrity and visual appeal. The resulting camel skin lamps not only serve as functional sources of light but also stand as exquisite pieces of art, reflecting the rich cultural heritage and remarkable craftsmanship of Multan, Pakistan.
