{"product_id":"abhaya-hand-painted-aipan-palm-on-cotton","title":"Abhaya: Hand-Painted Aipan Palm on Cotton","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis piece is rooted in \u003cstrong\u003eAipan\u003c\/strong\u003e, the ritual folk art of Kumaon in Uttarakhand. For generations, women in the hills have drawn Aipan on floors, walls and doorways to invite blessings into the home. Tribal women artisans of Uttarakhand have carried that tradition onto cloth, painting slowly and entirely by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAt its centre is an open palm, drawn in white limestone powder on deep red cotton. Within it, flowers, arches, rosettes and delicate vines unfold in fine, intricate lines, framed by a hand-drawn patterned border. The open hand is one of the oldest symbols of protection and blessing, echoed in the \u003cem\u003eabhaya mudra\u003c\/em\u003e, the gesture of fearlessness. Here it becomes a quiet guardian for the home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThere is no stencil or print. Every line is freehand, so small irregularities in pattern and texture are part of the piece, marks of the hand that made it. It works well in an entryway, a prayer corner, a hallway or any wall that could use a gentle sense of welcome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis is an exclusive artwork, made in very limited numbers.
