It is
made of ‘papier mache’- a craft known
by French term Papier-mache (literally paper pulp) known in Jammu & Kashmir
as kar-e-kalamkari, pen case work, after its Iranian name.Papier mache was practiced as a form of
decoration executed on the wooden panels of walls and wooden furniture,
eventually adapted to paper moulds as well.
It is
not simple a piece of art – more so, that of an artisan, as Prashant’s Co – The
India Art Investment Cowith tagline ‘preserving
culture, creatinglivelihoods’
integrates crafts and provides succor for the family of artisans.
Thank
you so much dear Prashant Sirjee for making my day
