The Art of Kashmiri Papier Mâché

Papier mâché is one of Kashmir’s most celebrated crafts, practised in Srinagar for centuries. Paper pulp is shaped, dried and smoothed, then painted freehand by a skilled naqash (painter) before being sealed with lacquer. The bird-and-blossom artwork reflects the Kashmiri love of gardens and nature.
