UNESCO listing brings new shine to North African metal art
Mohamed Amine Htiouich began honing his metal engraving skills as a teenager. Now the 37-year-old Tunisian is training the next generation in the ancient art, recently recognized by UNESCO.
Htiouich first worked on copper, then silver and finally gold at the family's workshop in the old medina of Tunis.
