These red papier mache star ornaments bring warm color and fine Kashmiri brushwork to your tree. Three papier mache stars in graduated sizes, hand-painted in red with colourful iris and blossom motifs and fine gold dots, hung from golden cords with a pink silk tassel.
Handmade in Kashmir
Kashmiri papier mache is made the traditional way: paper pulp is molded by hand, dried, smoothed and then painted freehand by skilled naqash artists. A coat of lacquer gives the glossy finish and protects the painting. No two pieces are exactly alike, so expect small, charming variations from the photos.
How to Display It
Hang your red papier mache star ornaments on the tree, string them across a window or add them to a festive wreath. The set of three makes a thoughtful Christmas or Diwali gift and a keepsake to bring out year after year.
