Story & Heritage
A refined expression of sustainable luxury, this breathtaking shadow box artwork embodies the timeless elegance and deep narrative of Indian artisanal heritage. Inspired by the sacred iconography of the royal courts of Rajasthan, the piece highlights the Morpankhi (peacock feather) in a striking turquoise and deep blue palette—a revered symbol of beauty, divinity, and Lord Krishna’s presence. At the heart of this rhythmic background hangs a majestic Hasli, a traditional rigid collar necklace traditionally passed down through generations as an heirloom. Conceived for the conscious connoisseur, this exclusive piece seamlessly bridges the gap between ancestral body adornment and modern European interior styling, transforming your home into a sanctuary of mindful elegance.
Craft Background
True luxury is revealed in the distinct, tactile signature of the human hand. Purposefully distancing from the flat uniformity of digital canvas prints, this shadow box creation celebrates a magnificent harmony of distinct ancestral crafts. Master artisans begin by meticulously applying the turquoise Morpankhi motif across the fine textile canvas. The central focus is a hand-forged metal Hasli, sculpted with an open back and anchored by an intricate, low-relief pendant encrusted with a ruby-toned center and fine Kundan stones. Tucked within the torque curve are two miniature circular brooches, delicately detailed to depict Radha and Lord Krishna. Hand-mounted inside a deep-profile silver frame, this layered creation remains an enduring, museum-quality treasure.
Care Instructions
• Display: Mount securely on a sturdy focal wall using heavy-duty picture hangers. To preserve the soft turquoise tones of the print and prevent the metalwork from tarnishing prematurely, avoid hanging in spaces exposed to high humidity or prolonged, direct sunlight.
• Cleaning: Gently wipe the protective outer glass surface with a soft, slightly damp microfiber cloth to maintain absolute visual clarity. Dust the silver-leaf frame with a clean, dry cloth or a delicate feather duster.
• Maintenance: Do not spray liquid cleaners or water directly on or near the seams of the frame. Because the central metal neckpiece is heavy and securely hand-mounted to the interior canvas base, avoid sudden impacts or rough handling.
