Several dozen peoples live in Dagestan, of which the Avars are one of the largest. The Avar village of Gotsatl is a large and well-known center of jewelry craftsmanship, especially the art of silver processing. But the Dargin village of Kubachi is certainly larger and better known. Previously, each people in Dagestan had its own style of decorating daggers. Now some of the traditions have been lost, but the work of silversmiths from Gotsatl and Kubachi is still different.
