Description
A tannery worker sits on top of a dye vat as he submerges hides with a pole at a leather tannery in Fes (Fez), Morocco. Here, goat, sheep, cow, and camel hides are soaked in vats of various solutions, some to soften the hides and others to dye them colors made from natural ingredients. The production of leather goods at the tannery is done with all manual labor and no modern equipment, and the methods have remained unchanged since medieval times.
