In the past, it was the occupation of shepherds, soldiers, foresters, and last but not least, prisoners, as quite obviously they had all the time in the world needed for this great activity.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fadeInUp&#8221;]Europe&#8217;s most famous core carving from the 16th century is kept in the Dresden Treasury. Master Leopold Pronner of Nuremberg carved a portrait of 185 courtiers into a single cherry seed. He presented the work to the Saxon prince, who in return released him from prison.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fadeInUp&#8221;]The earliest master we know of in Hungary is Imre Cs\u00f6ke, a forester who carved peach seeds in the 1830s. G\u00e1bor Bogn\u00e1r was another famous pit cutter, known as the Christ-carver in Tihany, who carved Madonna and Christ heads into apricot pits. It is also important to mention the name of J\u00e1nos Hermann, the best miniature carver still alive today in Hungary.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fadeInUp&#8221;]Even though there might not seem to be a great amount of people involved in pit cutting at the same time, some people still keep this tradition alive.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row wrap_container=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1631906974833{padding-top: 80px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;row-align-items-center&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; animation_delay=&#8221;&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;fadeInLeft&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fadeInUp&#8221;]Fruit seed carving is an almost forgotten ancient craft, though natural jewelry may never have been as important as it is today.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fadeInUp&#8221;]Apricot pit carving is a well-known Hungarian tradition.
