Rajastani Wall hangers

This is a hand made Rajastani wall hanger. Traditional patch work coupled with Zaridar thread work and mirrors - make it an object of unparalleled beauty. This sort of embroidered patch work is a craft mastered by the natives of Rajastan. Looking at the serene blue color of this wall hanging, one wonders - was it a way of respite from the scrotching heat and monotony of the deserts?
Indian handicraft is always rich in variety owing to great diversity in the cultural set up of the Indian society. The handicraft produced in far flung regions of India are unique and posseses great historical traditions and artistry.
Predominantly in green with 24 square pattern and plenty of decoration all over the surface, these wall hangings produce an enthralling effect. Various designs and zariwork done inside all the squares in defenite proportion and multiple dimension make the wall hanging mesmorising decorative accessory.
