This 12-inch diameter wooden circle is a captivating showcase of the Lippan Art Technique, hailing from Western India, particularly Kutch. Meticulously hand-decorated and painted, this artwork features beautiful nature-inspired motifs adorned with intricate mirror work—a hallmark of Lippan Art.
Having learned this traditional style from skilled practitioners in Western India, it brings a rich cultural heritage to the creation. The circular wooden canvas serves as the perfect backdrop for a recreation of the sun, with vibrant hues of yellow, orange, and red against a serene blue background. The play of colors and the circular design evoke the majestic beauty of a setting or rising sun.
The dazzling mirror work, arranged in a specific circular pattern, adds an extra layer of elegance and brilliance to the piece. The contrast between the warm tones of the sun and the cool blue background enhances the visual impact, creating a harmonious and visually striking composition. This Lippan Art creation not only reflects artistic skill but also preserves and celebrates the cultural roots of Western Indian craftsmanship.
