A small enterprise “Kamenny poyas” (“Stone belt”) in Kasli follows the traditions of the classic art casting.
Today more than 65 people work in the enterprise.
For the most part these people are not young.

Model making is an initial part of production.

A lattice is cooling before polishing and coining.
Valery Gorbatov has been working here for 14 years…
