ALENTEJO.- An artisan applies clay and straw to a "chocalho" (cattle bell in Portuguese) before tinplating it in a furnace at temperature between 1200 and1250 degree Celsius at Pardalinho factory in Alcacovas, Alentejo, south of Portugal on December 3, 2015. Chocalheira craftwork was listed as “Intangible Cultural Heritage in Need of Urgent Safeguarding” by UNESCO on December 1, 2015. The village of Alcacovas is one of the 3 locations in Portugal where this art is still made by the Chocalheiros masters at Pardalinho factory and this international recognition could get the interest of young artisans.
