Located in Chuyen My commune, Phu Xuyen district, about 40km south of central Hanoi, Chuon Ngo is renowned as a famous nacre (mother-of- pearl) inlaid village for thousands years. The craft village is famous for producing traditional Vietnamese wooden handicrafts such as beds, cabinets, altars and artistic items for home decoration. Mother-of-pearl carving requires continuous manipulation at a very high level. Based on the drawing, the artisan chisels the wood and attaches the pearl shells to it. To saw and chisel the shells without breaking them, artisans have to grind them, soak them in wine, heat them manually, and split, then select whole pieces for the paintings. Sometimes hundreds or thousands of samples are needed. The unique products, imbued with the tradition of Chuon Ngo, are made with care and passion. VNA Photo: Trần Việt
