Amazing Traditional Bone Craft Process

In Mongolia, bones are never simply thrown away. This traditional process shows how a large animal bone is cleaned, cut, disinfected with hydrogen peroxide, whitened, and transformed into a handmade decorative craft. After extracting the marrow for food, the bone is carefully scraped, soaked, carved, shaped, sanded, polished, decorated, and assembled into a beautiful handmade piece. A fascinating look at Mongolian resourcefulness, traditional craftsmanship, and the art of reusing natural materials.
