Kashmir’s papier mache art is a story in itself. Migrants from Persia and Central Asia travelled to Kashmir and introduced many arts and crafts in the 15th century. Today, masters of the art live in the narrow bylanes of Srinagar’s Zadibal-Alamgari Bazaar. They bring to life the literary works of poets, kings and emperors through local motifs.

Most of the items I offer are vintage, antique or simply pre-owned, consequentially; reasonable wear and tear is to be expected. Therefore my items are sold as seen. I try to describe any damage or problems of which I am aware, in all of my listings. I always include significant numbers of clear photographs; these are integral to the description, so please review closely.
