Balochi handicrafts are handicraft or handmade crafted works originating from Baloch people.[1]
Baloch handicrafts is not merely a craft; it serves as a means of cultural identity and expression. Each design often carries symbolic meanings related to Baloch traditions and beliefs.[2]
Handicrafts are part of Baloch culture and play an important role in the family economy, as an occupation that is particularly prevalent among Baloch nomads. Women often engage in these handicrafts to support their families, especially in rural areas where educational and employment opportunities may be limited.[3]
The tradition of crafting these items is passed down through generations, preserving the cultural heritage of the Baloch community.
