About Azerbaijan - Belarus Joint Issue, Folk Crafts - Joint M/S

In Azerbaijan, there are deep and rich traditions of folk crafts, and the art of coppersmithing is no exception. In Azerbaijan, there were separate cities specializing in copper craftsmanship. However, the main center of coppercraft became Lahij, which was part of the Shamakhi Khanate. The mountain settlement is located on the southern slope of the Greater Caucasus at an altitude of 1375 meters and holds the status of a state historical and cultural reserve of the 14th-15th centuries, included in the "Great Silk Road." The international tourist route serves as a kind of monument to ancient urban planning and architectural art.
