Bread Stamps (Chekich), Bukhara, Uzbekistan — Silk Road Travel Photography Poster (Premium Matte)

Piled in a Bukhara market stall, these are chekich — the pin-studded stamps that press the pattern into Uzbek non, the round bread at the centre of every table. 

Each turned-wood handle carries a head of fine metal pins arranged in rosettes and stars, and each leaves its own signature in the dough before baking. They are working tools, not ornaments, yet generations of craftsmen turned even the humblest kitchen implement into something worth admiring.

Part of the Green Global Trek Uzbekistan Collection — original photography from 15 years on the road.
