Hand-Painted Decorative Papier Mache Box from India, "Dusky Garden"
Darling butterflies hover around a bunch of flowers on Niyaz's decorative papier mache box. Indian artisans hand carve the box from kail wood, pasting strips of wet paper around the box before buffing the surface smooth. The box is then painted with a midnight garden motif in hues of blue and pink.

"Delightful, Expert Craftsmanship"
The painting on this box is so lively and refined! I was immediately charmed upon seeing the expert artistry of this piece. Each painted animal has its own unique character in a lively scene that you would find in the work of ancient artists. Happy to see this in my home each day. Thank you Niyaz for your artistry! I will purchase again from you!
