{"Image ImageDescription": "<p>Muhammad Saud, a 65-year-old Syrian silk farmer, holds a handful of silkworm cocoons at his home workshop in the village of Deir Mama, in west-central Syria on June 22, 2020. - After Syria's war whisked away the silkworms from his mulberry trees, 65-year-old Mohammed Saud instead turned his idle home workshop into a silk museum to celebrate the ancient craft. In the green hills of Deir Mama, Saud, his wife and three sons have been making silk for decades. They would raise silk worms in the spring, watching them munch on mulberry tree leaves and slowly build their thick cocoons, before spinning the thread and weaving those coils into fine cloth.
