Blooming on airy globes, roses bring their charm to this design. Gulam Rasool is a master at traditional jali or openwork carving. Working in soapstone, he crafts a beautiful pair of candleholders for the romantic glow of tea lights.
Close to his eightieth birthday, Gulam continues the art he learned from his elders. His father was an marble carver and jali artisan honored with the state award for excellence. Gulam has been honored with the same distinction. He still works alongside his son and other artisans to whom he has taught this craft, and treasures the role he plays in continuing this important Indian artistic tradition.
Nearing his eighth decade, Gulam continues to provide for his family, especially his grandchildren.
This artist is an elder master and continues to actively practice their craft.
Gulam is proud to be able to help provide for his grandchildren's education.

These arrived today and they are breathtakingly beautiful! I am going to give one to my best friend. I have placed the one I am keeping next to a beautiful wood statue of Buddha. The artist who carved these is so talented!
