A golden panel with a central medallion of pink, red and green flowers sits inside a light blue floral border. Small variations in the painting are part of its handmade charm.

About Kashmiri Paper Mache
Kashmiri paper mache (papier mache) is shaped from layers of paper pulp, dried and smoothed, then painted in the traditional Naqashi style with fine brushes. A single box can take days to finish, so no two are exactly alike.
Uses and Gifting
Use it to store jewelry, keepsakes, letters or small accessories, or display it on a dresser or console. It makes a memorable gift for a wedding, housewarming, birthday or festive occasion.
Care
Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth. Keep away from water, direct sunlight and heat. Colours and patterns may vary slightly because each box is handmade.
