You step off the minivan onto a narrow lane of cobbles warm from the sun; copper pans and carved wooden handles lean out from dark doorways, and the river below hurries like a local with places to be. The air smells of wood smoke, baking lavash and the faint metallic tang of hammered bronze — Lahij announces itself as a working village rather than a museum.
