These papier mache butterfly ornaments flutter with fine blue and gold Kashmiri brushwork. A set of three hand-painted papier mache butterflies strung together on a golden thread with a pink tassel. Fine blue and gold floral patterns cover each wing, finished with a black lacquered edge.
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
Hang the papier mache butterfly ornaments in a window, on a spring branch arrangement or on the Christmas tree. Strung together with a pink tassel, they make a cheerful gift for anyone who loves garden colors.
