Kashmiri Papier-Mâché Bowl | Deep Blue Phulai Floral Motifs
This Kashmiri papier-mâché bowl is decorated in the traditional Kar-i-Munnaqash style, featuring hand-painted bunches of blue blossoms across both its inner and outer surfaces. Its wide circular rim and modestly elevated base create a balanced form that showcases the floral decoration from different angles.
The clustered blossoms, known as Phulai, are a distinctive motif in Kashmiri decorative arts. Fine brushwork and layered detailing bring definition to the floral compositions, reflecting the skill and precision associated with this established regional craft tradition.
Combining a functional bowl form with traditional decorative painting, this piece is suited to display on a shelf, console or tabletop. It is also a considered addition to collections of Kashmiri handicrafts, Indian decorative arts and traditional papier-mâché objects.
