Konjic woodcarving (Bosnian: Konjičko drvorezbarstvo / Коњичко дрворезбарство) is a specific technique of woodcarving practised in Konjic Municipality in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

In 2017 it is included on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.[1]

History

[edit]

Konjic woodcarving is an artistic craft with a long tradition in the Konjic municipality. The woodcarvings – which include furniture, sophisticated interiors and small decorative objects – stand out for their recognizable hand-carved motifs and overall visual identity. The woodcarving is a constitutive part of the local community’s culture, a measure of the beauty and amenity of home interiors, and a tradition that forges a sense of community and belonging.
