Handmade in Kashmir
Every ornament begins as layers of paper pulp shaped by hand and left to dry. Our naqash then smooths the surface and paints each design freehand with fine brushes before sealing it with a protective lacquer. Because every piece is made by hand in our Srinagar workshop, small differences in color and pattern make yours one of a kind.
How to Display It
Perch your grey and gold papier mache bird ornament on the Christmas tree, a spring branch arrangement or a window latch. It makes a charming gift for bird lovers and a lovely keepsake from Kashmir that brings a little garden color indoors all year.
