Leather artist Seken Nurgaliyev learnedd his craft from his father, Zhumagazy (at center rear), a master leather craftsman in the village of Shiber-Aul. A territorial governor, whose prized falcon had lost part of its talon, asked Zhumagazy to help restore it with his leather craft. His work was so successful that the governor offered him his daughter's hand in marriage. Zhumagazy accepted. In this photo, Seken is working on a representation of Zhambil, the master of improvised poetry (1846-1945), whose themes were struggles between good and evil, and compassion for people' misfortunes.
