Witnessing a vast variety of cultural intermingling, the centuries-old Swati art of wood carving is still popular in the valley and abroad.
Passing down from generation to generation, the art has centuries old history and deep impressions as Buddhists in Uddiyana (ancient name of Swat) were known for their nifty and stylish designs on rock carvings. Samples of that inspirational art can still be seen everywhere in the ruins of 1st to 9th century stone and rock carvings left by Buddhists.
During the early Islamic period in Swat valley, wood work in the residential constructions was in abundance. Be it the mere door of a house, hujra, shop or a mosque, people would love to carve out floral design in it.
Swati wood carvings and textiles show predictable composition, for the desire to avoid imbalance and haphazardly composed designs puts a premium on symmetrical placement of patterns and rows of patterns. Swati patterns are dense, tightly constructed, breaking up the surface plane as no other Pakistani folk tradition does.
Presently, with mixed traces of ancient and modern designs, the wooden furniture has great demand, not only among the local people but also across the country and abroad. Owing to its demand in the market, the art has taken a shape of an industry, supporting large number of people financially.
