It all begins with an emotion……
In the Sandalwood box, I hope you find that each of the creatives that comes out has a fascinating story to tell. Every craft is influenced by deep cultural history, carrying the sentiments and flavors of its roots.
And is always crafted with love.
Kashmiri Papier-mâché Box
A richly decorated colorful artifact made of paper pulp, Kashmiri papier-mâché is a handicraft of Kashmir that was brought by Muslim saint Mir Sayyid Ali Hamadani from Persia in the 14th century to medieval India.
Faux Bone Inlay
The timeless art of Bone inlay: an ancient decorative technique that involves embedding delicate, hand-carved pieces of bone into the surface of an object. The result makes for a striking pattern–often floral or geometric–of contrasting colors and materials that add surface splendor to any room.
Lippan Kaam
Pristine, elegant pieces of art made out of rustic clay and mirrors.
Reminds me of Rumi’s quote: “Do not see yourself as a body of clay, see yourself as a mirror reflecting the divine beauty.”
