Description
Discover the ancient Anatolian ritual of Kurşun Dökme in Cappadocia. Learn about the history and cultural meaning of this traditional practice, and watch the traditional pouring ceremony.
Step into a centuries-old tradition with a traditional lead pouring experience in Cappadocia. Learn about the history and cultural meaning of Kurşun Dökme, a traditional folk practice known in different regions of Anatolia and the Balkans.
Historically, people have associated the ritual with protection from the “evil eye” and negative energy. During this experience, your host will explain the traditional beliefs surrounding Kurşun Dökme and demonstrate the ritual in a controlled setting.
Sit comfortably while the traditional preparation is made. The heated material is handled exclusively by the experienced practitioner and poured into cold water away from direct contact with participants. As it cools, unusual shapes and formations appear.
Your host will then explain how these shapes have traditionally been interpreted in Anatolian folk culture.
